It's somewhat the same thing for biomass emissions. There are standards that have just been renewed. I don't know how it works in the rest of Canada, but, in Quebec, they've just amended the rules for combustion, thus for particles. The act sets the standard at 600mg per megajoule of emissions. We claim that there should be even more rigorous standards for heating plants and that they should be below 200mg. That would ensure that the sector could develop without any challenge. Moreover, that's what we're seeing outside Canada. We also agree that it would be good to have standards. Even with respect to harvesting the forest, we have to make sure we do not disturb soil fertility, biodiversity. We have to take all these considerations into account. Work is underway, but formal standards have not yet been established. All we know is that we must be careful, but there should also be standards in this part of the sector.
