Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As my colleague indicated, a portion of the resources has been transferred to NRCan, and a small portion to Foreign Affairs.
There are three main project areas in the clean energy dialogue that were established by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper. The first is to advance collaborative work on carbon capture and storage. The second is toward a more efficient electricity grid based on the provision of clean and renewable sources of power. The third is on research and development around new technologies on clean energy, with a focus on building a common North American innovation road map for clean energy technology.
The resources are going to a wide range of types of activities. There are joint workshops between Canadian and American officials. There are some small-scale R and D projects. There's a lot of work in terms of pulling together a common information base. An atlas of CCS in North America is one example. There's work in terms of working out what you could describe as common North American rules of the road for CCS so that both countries have the same kind of regulatory policy on this important technology.
