Mr. Layton was very intelligent to get a cheque rather than a promise for the establishment of that fund. Certainly, that will be an issue that the Minister of Finance considers as he prepares his upcoming budget.
I do think clean energy has to be an important part of the mix. I know Ontario best when it comes to electricity, and what we're seeing—and this goes back to what one of the scientists said—is a cultural change. The energy mix in Ontario, for example, is growing considerably. We opened the first commercial wind farm when I was Minister of Energy.
The successive government has followed through and gone much farther, which I think is good for the environment. We have hundreds and hundreds of megawatts either up and running or under construction, and I think that just has to go into the mix.
Canadians want to see a strong renewable component in their energy mix. The extent to which we can work with the industry or work with provinces on that is something that's important.
It doesn't just have to be wind and it doesn't just have to be solar. It can be biomass or it can be geothermal. It can be expanding hydro or it can be micro-hydro. There are many options.
