I have another question concerning the financial aspects. I believe it is Mr. Hassan, from NOVA Chemicals, who told us this morning that in the absence of financial incentives, there is at present not a good enough cash position to be able to invest in plant upgrades or the improvement of plants' environmental performance, and that the implementation of accelerated capital cost allowance measures, long term, for CO2 capture capital costs, would have a considerable impact on economic viability.
Have you done an evaluation of what the implementation of such a measure would involve in terms of public effort and in terms of government expenditures? Has an evaluation of what this type of measure would represent in terms of public effort been carried out by Natural Resources Canada or the private sector?
Secondly, I am somewhat surprised today to see that you have not come forward on the part of 30 small energy sector companies demanding, for the energy sector, an exemption from the new tax on income trusts.
Do you think that an exemption for the energy sector from this new tax announced in the latest Flaherty budget would give you the oxygen you need to put in place this new technology?
