Thank you. That is all very helpful.
We're clearly hearing from you that government policies do make a difference. Certainly in Manitoba the NDP government has brought forward a very innovative energy efficiency program that has helped to bolster the energy efficiency of that province. Those are the kinds of innovative programs we have to look at.
I'm going to move on to Mr. Howard. Thank you for being here.
You referenced a number of studies that the institute is currently working on. Because of the increasing debate around value-added, of course, I'm interested as to whether or not the energy institute is looking at value-added and its potential in Canada. I'm citing Jeff Rubin, a former chief economist for CIBC World Markets, who has said very clearly that part of the problem that we have with the glut right now is that we're not doing the type of value-added transformation we need to. He cited Suncor as a company that isn't subject to the same price differential, because of course it does value-added and reaps the profit, rather than sending it down to another market in another country to get that value-added increase.
Are you currently doing any studies on that? Is that something that interests the institute?
