Mr. Speaker, if the hon. gentleman followed the policy announcements and the investment plans of the Government of Canada, he would know among other things that we have made very substantial investments in support of fuel cell technology which holds enormous promise for the future, with a burgeoning industry in British Columbia and across the country led by the Ballard corporation that the government is very strongly supporting.
We are also investing with the Iogen Corporation of Ottawa in alternative fuels such as ethanol which can reduce the CO2 emissions by up to 90%. Yes, indeed, we are pursuing the new innovations and the new fuels of the 21st century.
