The Government of Canada believes that carbon capture and storage is a hugely important technology moving forward. It is a new technology. It is a technology that needs to be proved up. It's a technology that's further advanced for coal-fire-generated plants, but it's a technology that we believe will be essential for the oil sands, particularly around upgraders but also around in situ--hence the investment in terms of demonstration projects to move in this direction. We think it will be essential.
