Thank you to both panels.
We've heard a little of everything in terms of a strategic overview. Ms. Labrie talked about the recycling of municipal waste in terms of the energy stream and biomass stream. There's the canola approach. We then have reminders from Mr. Samson with respect to the implications for developing countries.
The question is this. Where is the strategic positioning that will do what Professor Sperling has said, a strategy that's based on policy performance and the unleashing of innovation?
My question has two parts to it. I'm sure the committee would be interested in what you would advise the government. Does the Obama administration have it right in terms of biomass crop energy programs? Will that position provide the necessary incentives in terms of the types of non-cellular and non-cellulosic technologies that will gently lead us to a more rational and balanced future with respect to cellulosic innovations and other innovations?
There are two parts to the question. The second part is on carbon pricing. How does that figure in? I don't think we're going to get to that, but the government needs to know or we need to know what the implications would be.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
