Thank you to the officials for being here today. It's always nice to hear from you and see the wealth of experience you're bringing to these decisions that you're making all the time.
I wanted to ask you a bit about SDTC, because this is something that I hear about from time to time and I know that there is so much going on below the surface that we MPs are not aware of, much less the public. I'm wondering if you can tell me about it.
I'm really impressed, for example, by just a couple of little things about it that I found out. Steeper Energy Canada in Calgary is going to get $3 million to transform biomass feedstock that usually goes into a landfill into a renewable alternative to dilute heavy oil. Pure Technologies, which I'm familiar with in my riding, makes those smart balls that run through pipelines and can detect leaks, something like an ECG. It's really very cool technology.
I'm wondering if you can tell us what's included for SDTC in the estimates and what these funds are going to be used for, and if you can just give an overview, as much as you can, to drill down into what SDTC is all about.
