Yes. Certainly one of the issues we've found is that we often see companies that, for various reasons, are not willing to adopt the clean technology that we have, even though it's commercially viable. There's concern about the viability of the technology as it's developed, and I suppose that's where we brought in this idea that it would be good if we could engage the current SR and ED program to effectively be a tool to qualify clean technology and provide some level of legitimacy.
We're coming from the chemical industry, and there's a very wide range of terminology that's used, and a lot of variables in play, and I suppose that's where we've seen a lot of skepticism over the years. Certainly in the oil and gas industry we've faced it for many years, and when you start using the terms that we use to try to define clean technology, we find that things get very ambiguous and sometimes challenging. That's why we're looking in general for the government to come in and support that. That's why we talked about initially creating that role perhaps within the SR and ED program of a qualifier of clean technology.
If, for example, when we submit a file to SR and ED, assuming that it's technology, if we could in a sub-form claim this new technology or this new innovation that we've developed is in fact deemed as clean technology, even using the definition that your committee has posed.... If we're able to do that, that immediately creates additional credibility for us, and again, it's proved by potential auditors from the SR and ED program. For example, we would have a chemical engineer who would come and audit our file once every couple of years, and we'd be able to have that qualified and be able to better promote our technology based on the clarity that has now been brought into our world.
