Yes, I can be very quick. The first one was on growth capital support. They were very good at putting money in R and D. The thing is that if we only focus on helping R and D, and we don't look at it from a holistic approach, we create these companies that remain small. They don't create jobs, they don't create wealth, and then they get purchased by foreign companies. There is a risk that this IP will leave Canada if we don't look at the full chain of financing, from the R and D lab to pilot and demonstration to full commercial scale.
I'm not talking about subsidies. I'm talking about all kinds of supports. They can be regulatory, fiscal, or—when I talk about growth capital, when those companies are post-demonstration and are ready to really expand—in the form of loans, loan guarantees, or equity. At BDC that's what they do—equity investments—but sometimes they get focused on the first rounds, which are less risky, and then those companies stall. They cannot grow, and then they get purchased by Chinese investors or investors here in Canada.
Sustainable Development Technology Canada, SDTC, has really been a vehicle to grow those companies. They are helping our natural sectors. They work a lot with COSIA and others. We're building great companies, but we don't take them to their full potential, where they can create jobs. That is the main issue.
On market access and market demand, in the fuel sector the renewable fuel standard is really a key regulation to provide market access to biofuels in the fuel space. To date the federal mandate is at 5% for ethanol, but we're already over-compliant, and governments around the world are increasing mandates because we need a green liquid support. We're not going to switch to electric cars all of a sudden. We have millions of cars that are running on liquid fuel. Our infrastructure is liquid, our customers are the refiners, and they buy our products. It's also an oxygenate for fuel, so it replaced MTBE. It really has a use.
The last one was on the eco-fiscal side—
