First of all, we've made unprecedented investments that help create a Canadian biofuels industry through capital and operating incentives for domestic production, regulations for renewable content, and support for construction of first-of-kind next generation biofuel facilities.
You might remember that in 2008 we announced $1.5 billion over nine years for the eco-energy initiative for the biofuels program to provide incentives for producers of renewable fuels. That, obviously, is set to expire in 2017. To date, I can tell you that this program has contributed more than $901 million to biofuel producers, 63% of the total contribution funds, in order to encourage domestic production of renewable fuels to meet the demand associated with Environment Canada's regulation. This program is expected to invest almost $1 billion by 2017.
Declining funding to this program is due to the funding profile for each of the programs as they wind down and obviously projects near completion.
