Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Stephen, I want to follow up on our previous discussion.
When I spoke with the witnesses about bioenergy, I was always under the impression that developing a market was very hard, because the molecule price was ultimately more expensive when bioproducts were involved. However, I thought that developing the market would be possible if incentives, carbon pricing and other such government measures were in place.
We talked about carbon pricing, but the clean fuel regulations are another consideration. I'd like to know whether you think it's important to keep those regulations in place.
I have another quick question. Earlier, in response to a question from my friend Claude Guay, you said that fibre access was a problem in some provinces. I had always heard that bioenergy was made from waste, so there were no projects to produce bioenergy using the whole fibre. It's kept for building, but energy was produced mostly from waste.
My two questions, then, are about clean fuels and the use of waste.
