Okay.

To the Agriculture Carbon Alliance, Mr. Ross, you have mentioned that the technology is not necessarily yet available. I know this because I made my own announcement with regard to BioDryAir grain dryers. The farmer last year spent $200,000 in propane; today he's spending $40,000 in wood pellets, so that's a saving of $160,000 of his own costs. Needless to say, he's not paying the carbon tax on that.

Is it because that sort of technology is yet not viable for all of Canada or, in your opinion, is it just that there is no technology with regard to grain drying?
