Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to go back to what Mr. Carrie was briefly talking about: applications for the $1.5-billion clean fuels fund, a program announced in June 2021. Successful applicants were notified on November 14, 2022. That's 17 months later.
I want to get a sense of this from people in business. We've heard so much about businesses wanting certainty, especially with respect to what's going on with the IRA, because there's certainty in what the U.S. has. Would you consider a 17-month process to award some funds something that businesses would say is “certainty”?
That's for Ms. Green or Mr. Auer.
