Under ordinary circumstances I would suggest actually that the Canadian marketplace is a more stable, friendly marketplace, from a pro-competition point of view, but there have been some bizarre things happening.
There has not been a refinery built in North America—period—for many, many years. It's not just a Canadian phenomenon that it's difficult to attract capital to invest in these kinds of things. Even with the existence of refinery subsidies—those in the United States to build refineries—people are not taking up those offers.
One of your questions the other day was on tax policy. There are, in fact, incentives south of the border. We're not asking for that. As has been shown south of the border, they don't necessarily work.
In the example of renewable fuels, the federal government alone provides a 51¢ per gallon subsidy on ethanol-blended gasoline. In the last budget, the government announced that it is eliminating the equivalent of our blend or subsidy as of April 1 of next year and replacing that with a subsidy that goes directly to the producer, further widening the competitive disparity between those in Canada and our U.S. counterparts.
Those are just some of the examples. Provincial governments have done the same thing as well. There's a lot of tax policy that circles around our product, but on balance, when you look at it worldwide, the North American marketplace is, generally speaking, the lowest-tax fuel environment.
