In terms of public policy, for our companies, it's important to think about not just the macroeconomic policies that might encourage transition to a low-carbon future but also those micropolicies that might encourage the adoption of technologies. Those might not be evident at first, because they might not necessarily be environmental.
I'll give you an example. Most of the companies we deal with make less than $10 million in revenue, but they often will have interprovincial activities. They might manufacture their pressure vessels and have their head office in Montreal and in the Montreal region, and they might have a site facility in Lloydminster, Alberta, for example, or in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. By the nature of the clean tech industry, they're already interprovincial, and they're already dealing with the challenges of working interprovincially.
I remember one company gave the example that just the transportation of the vessels and being able to site them in the Alberta jurisdiction was much more challenging than it first envisioned because it hadn't done it before, although you guys would probably know much better about that than this company. One thing is to be able to have information to understand in advance what the barriers might be and to be able to deal with them. This helps in terms of the overall prosperity of that company and its ability to deliver on its clean technologies versus other things.
I think I'll just leave it at that. When thinking about the deployment of these technologies, it's important to talk to the companies directly and actually hear what their barriers are. What are their challenges to business and deployment? Then we can try to think about what might be done in that regard.
