Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentation here today.
One of the things I noted in your “Action Required on Multiple Fronts” is that under the heading “Domestically” you've addressed the issue of competitiveness factors through domestic policies; in particular, innovation, skills, energy, environment, and infrastructure. I think you're absolutely correct there.
Canadians will generally support public policy initiatives, be they on clear air or better infrastructure, where they can see value for the general good and as a goal, and it if boosts employment and competitiveness. I'm not informed in depth about the whole project itself, but one of the things that have been talked about is the cogeneration of the Stelco plant and moving that forward. Does that fit within those elements there? I know that in the Hamilton area they argue that obviously this would improve air quality, and they have a significant problem there. Coming from Windsor, Ontario, we have the same thing as well, but where you can't control, you can improve things.
And second to that, it would improve the competitiveness of Stelco itself.
Maybe you can expand upon that situation to see if it falls in line with what you're....
