Let me give you another hard statistical piece of evidence in support of that, and, yes, you're absolutely right; that is an area where we would see a great deal of potential given additional resources. Under our WINN program, we are able to fund about one in 12 of the projects that we get in. Now, I'm not going to tell you that all 12 of those projects are worth funding. They're not. Some of the applications are actually not that strong. But I can tell you that if we were able to fund one in six of those applications instead, every single one of those additional projects would be strong projects, particularly in clean tech. As I said, the economic geography of the west absolutely favours it. It's partly due to the overwhelming presence of natural resource industries. Natural resource industries and the connection of small businesses to the large companies that extract natural resources present one of the best opportunities for making contributions to things like GHG reductions. Mining companies would hate me for saying this, but after all, most mining companies are really in the business of burning rocks. They burn rocks for a living. Rocks don't burn very well. They take a lot of fuel, so if you can find technologies that reduce the need for consumption of fossil fuels to smelt ores and to refine ores, you can make some really serious GHG reduction contributions.
