Transport committee  Home refuelling—

Transport committee  That's right. Home refuelling units have a compressor and a pipe, and you connect it to your car. It comes off the natural gas line to your house. If you think about the infrastructure across Canada, you realize there's a lot of piping that carries natural gas to your residence

Transport committee  That's right. In my handout, I'll show you pictures of home refuelling units. What we're trying to do is get the best technology out of the different units to bring the price down.

Transport committee  For the home refuelling infrastructure, it would be a case of going down to The Brick and buying a home refuelling unit, just as you would for your fridge or stove and so on. It would really be the customer. Obviously, this is being driven by the fact that they have to have a nat

Transport committee  Yes, I would agree. You start with methane first, and then you end up with propane, but as we start looking at natural gas in Canada, we note that it's at the lowest price it's been for decades and we need to seize the opportunity. Certainly they're doing that in the U.S. I wou

Transport committee  Yes, and one of the things that my friend alluded to is that when you look at the regulatory side, NRCan, under the standards subcommittee of the implementation committee, is looking at LNG refuelling structures and so forth. Yesterday The Globe and Mail reported that the U.S. bu

Transport committee  It should.

Transport committee  There are not, really—you're looking at a 3% loss on performance side—but clearly the LNG product is for longer distance. You get six times the value CNG gets, and that's why, in the heavy-duty trucks, LNG is used. There's one company that is doing some research on LNG for passen

Transport committee  Thank you so much. One of the issues was a catch-22 in looking at vehicles that run on natural gas and not the marketplace. Now what you're starting to see is this. Particularly in the U.S., there are 1,200 stations. There are some of ours and some from Clean Energy. We just op

Transport committee  Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be back again. I hope there's no vote today, Merv. You said there wasn't, so thank you so much, although every vote is a good vote. My agenda is going to be very simple. I'll talk about Encana as an industry natural gas supplier, describe so

Transport committee  Thank you for your question. Let me just raise the caution on any forward-looking comments I may make to an investor or a future investor, but if you look at most of the data that's been presented--again, referencing the Senate committee on energy--you'll see that the long-term

Transport committee  I don't know whether I would position it as barriers. Certainly, standards are one thing we need to look at, interprovincial standards. As I said in the presentation to the FINA committee, we need to look at these standards. There needs to be harmonization between the U.S. and Ca

Transport committee  May I ask the clerk to distribute the materials? Also, if there any questions, please, if they go to the clerk, I would be happy to answer them.

Transport committee  Yes, and I would support your recommendation. The Robert trucking company, for example, has embarked upon looking at natural gas for the trucking industry. Gaz Métro has been a leader. I would absolutely say yes. I think the federal government, in looking at municipalities, could

Transport committee  Thank you for your questions.
