Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to our witnesses.
Mr. Thurlow, we've been talking with some young people in the Toronto area who had some questions about the Oshawa ethanol plant. Young people and innovation are intricately linked because innovation will bring that economy of tomorrow and those are the people who will be dealing with the economic decisions we make. They asked me a few questions. One would be what is the 30-year energy balance for corn as an ethanol fuel source? In essence, what's the energy return on the energy investment, and furthermore, what guarantee is there that this product will continue to sell over a long-term period?
