On my part, I'm with the project development division of our company and certainly understand the Chinese. Many of our projects are built with modules that are built overseas. We have a facility in Guelph, which is still manufacturing modules, but it's a very difficult market to compete in. Our cost of electricity in the provinces is higher, and we don't have the same supports that we are seeing overseas from China in particular.
From a development perspective and that of getting more projects, I do look at the loan guarantees, the partial risk-assuring mechanisms that we could deploy from the federal perspective, whether they be.... These are EDC-type programs, but are for developing markets. What we were talking about here was developing the natural resource sector. I look at that as greening it and getting more renewable adoption. I see that as a development sector. Let's use Business Development Canada or another mechanism to do those loan guarantees, using risk assuming programs, development risk credit products, innovative risk assurances, and other lending arrangements that I couldn't come up with. I'm sure there are many different mechanisms that can provide help.
With those programs we create jobs. As projects are getting built, we're not the only ones bidding. We're in some programs right now in Canada. There are 35 different applicants going for similar small projects. They are chasing everything they can possibly get because not a lot of projects are getting support and funding right now.
We're seeing that hurting our industry. People are putting their hands up and saying we're not going to.... This is a starvation situation right now where not a lot of big programs are being supported. We want to build.
