I was referring to the fact that we have no incentives in place for the production of renewable energy and that this has been noted in several studies, particularly the OECD study. We are one of the rare industrialized countries, if not the only one, not to have a strategy and funding in place to encourage the production of renewable energy. We used to have a fund—the ecoENERGY Fund—which gave about 1¢ per kilowatt-hour to producers of renewable energy. However, the Harper government decided not to renew the funding for that program. Technically, the fund still exists, but there is no more money available. The infrastructure of the fund is still there. There are still a few public servants attached to it, but there is no longer any money to invest in renewable energy and other forms of energy.
