What we've looked at with the flow-through share program is at developing a mechanism whereby a company developing clean technology could flow the expenses of developing that technology.... Think about General Fusion or Nano One's technologies. They're spending $100 million developing a new battery cathode, or in the case of General Fusion, a nuclear fusion reactor in Burnaby, B.C. If they could flow those expenses back to a private investor, it would unlock private investment capital.
In 2011, there was over a billion dollars that went into the mining sector. We could be leaders in developing these new technologies. Then, when you look at the decarbonization of Canada, thinking about how much is being spent on energy efficiency or water treatment, those same expenses could still be flowed back through to the private sector and billions of dollars could be unlocked.
