Yes.
I'll give one illustration of what Alain's talking about. Jesse referred to it earlier as well; it is this problem with commercialization.
Many of the members of this committee have toured the facility at Iogen. It is state-of-the-art technology; it's getting press all around the world in recognition of that. The commercial development and the programs to have that first cellulose ethanol plant built are not anywhere close to being competitive with what's available to Iogen to do that in the United States. They're not even close. They're not within 100 kilometres of close.
That is a shame, because it was a Canadian-developed technology. The Canadian government invested $20 million in R and D in developing it, and just as the goose is ready to lay its first golden egg, we sell it for one dollar to the United States. All the economic benefits associated with that investment we made end up being realized in another market. Why? It's because we won't provide a loan guarantee for it, because there's some philosophical opposition to loan guarantees within the Department of Finance--and, frankly, there's very little engagement from the industry department on this issue.
I think we are about to have another example of that--not that we need a lot more to demonstrate that we have a problem with commercialization of new technologies.
There are similar challenges on biodiesel. I could go on, but I'll just use the one example for reasons of time.
