In fact, as regards new products such as biodiesel and biofuels, the independent distributors began marketing them long before governments asked them to. Ethanol has been for sale in Quebec for some 15 years now, and the same probably applies to Ontario. The independent distributors are the first ones to have offered it for sale. Nowadays, some independent Quebec distributors are starting to sell biodiesel, as part of a number of pilot projects. They don't just sit back and wait; they are the ones launching these projects. I guess what they need is support.
