That is positive for taxpayers to hear.
Here is my other concern. I was speaking to one of the local mayors in our area. Obviously we're very excited about the foreign investment that groups such as the Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Corporation, Dow and Inter Pipeline and other groups are making, considering the low costs of propane in Alberta due to our not being able to transport it outside of our borders because of a lack of pipeline capacity.
There is a bit of concern that we have 20 or so projects. Are all projects being considered? We're very concerned that winners be chosen. We want to know that equitable factors are being taken into account when choosing which companies get funding.
Please comment on that and also, if you can answer, on whether, if the funds in SIF are tapped out but there are other companies just behind the deadline and all the funding has been given out, there is any mechanism to top up the funding to ensure that there's equitable treatment for companies in the application process.
