Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to say I'm a little disappointed we have only an hour with you gentlemen. It's the end of the entire week, but I think this is the most exciting part.
I'm going to try to do three questions, which means about two minutes each.
We talked about the tidal projects, and you mentioned delays in the regulatory process. I've heard of the Bay of Fundy thing for years, and it just makes a heck of a lot of sense, with tides going up every 12 hours. Why aren't we working on that? How can the federal government help commercialize big projects like this?
Second, Mr. MacDonald, you mentioned there were some good policies, and I was wondering if you could give us a couple of ideas. We really want your feedback on what policies we can come forward with to help you out. You are the guys who are getting the job done. We have the research, but we want to see you guys out there commercializing it, making a lot of money, and paying a lot of taxes to the government. So what are the good policies, and where did they go?
My third question is with regard to the hydrogen fuel cells. I come from Oshawa, and I just saw GM's Volt. I thought it was the most fantastic idea coming forward. So the technology is coming here.
What is a good government partnership? What should we be doing? You talked about the infrastructure. I'd like to see that hydrogen highway between Windsor and Montreal, actually, because Oshawa is right in the middle, and with two nuclear plants we could get a lot of hydrogen going. Dan's got a nuclear plant in his riding, so that would be great.
What should the government be doing with those partnerships?
You might be down to a minute each now.
