I think part of your question was focused on the larger renewable energy picture. If we look at that larger picture and try to develop the next generation of energy sources within this country, my short answer is that we need all of the above. We need to be providing incentives and support for research, commercialization, and production. It does need to be a comprehensive approach. If you only do one or the other, we're not going to get all the way to market maturity.
A lot of people say that in Canada we're not very good at commercializing. We lead the world in some of our technologies and research, but we don't get it into the marketplace. That happens in other jurisdictions, and the benefits go to other jurisdictions. So commercialization is one area on which we do need to focus in this country.
For some specific examples, I'll go back to the list in my opening remarks. If we're looking at the renewable fuels industry, you can see that within a standard, you can provide additional incentives to particular types of fuels that are not as mature as others.
Having biodiesel account for two litres, within the standard, for every one litre of starch-based ethanol or cellulose ethanol, you can give the same kinds of incentives: production incentives, similar to the wind power production; consumer tax incentives, such as the exemption of the road taxes on fuels; and capital cost allowance.
I would come back to the last one, since it's is a very big mechanism. Right now, in transitioning from conventional fuels, which are well established, it can provide multiple benefits to getting us the next generation of energy technologies we need.
