Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member opposite on his victory during the election campaign.
This is one issue on which we disagree completely and wholeheartedly. This program would require that 5% of the gasoline sold in the country and 2% of diesel will be ethanol and biodiesel, which is a small portion indeed. It does give a little boost to farmers in terms of increasing their market.
I apologize not at all and never will for doing something that improves the environment and improves the situation of our farmers and our farming communities.
