Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you very much to the deputants.
As you were going through your presentations, it occurred to me that we're occupying a very important window for moving in the transportation sector to a hydrogen-type technology. So the whole notion of whether we are making a massive reduction in greenhouse gases through ethanol transition has to be viewed against a whole bunch of other reduction strategies. My first reaction is that I don't think we should ever downplay the reduction, whether it's from a grain-based ethanol strategy or the Iogen technology, because it's part of a behavioural paradigm. We are looking for many tactical approaches in a whole spectrum of initiatives. And I don't think that any one deputant has been overly emphasizing that it will be one sector that's going to make the enormous contribution to the reduction in greenhouse gases. There are going to be many.
I think the committee would be interested in the biodiesel analogy that was used in a couple of the presentations. It seems that it is more problematic than the ethanol initiative. You cited, I think, Mr. Teneycke, transportation issues with the trucking industry and interprovincial legislation, and so on. Or maybe it was someone else.
Could you elaborate, generally, on why biodiesel is fettered by industry problems, as opposed to ethanol, whether it's grain-based or whatever?
