We are starting to get provincial governments involved in solar. In Ontario, the provincial government has targeted photovoltaics, with a feed-in tariff rate of about 42ยข per kilowatt hour. In British Columbia the provincial government has set a target of 100,000 solar domestic hot water systems. There are no programs there yet, but they have a target, which is always the first step. We also have support in Prince Edward Island, for example. They're offering low-interest loans for solar hot water heating systems. Nova Scotia has just announced a 10% subsidy for residential solar DHW. So it's starting, but we're roughly 15 or 20 years behind the support other countries have offered.
