Mr Garfield Dunlop (Simcoe North): You're diverting attention from BSE.

Hon Mr Peters: I think we should be worried about BSE, because there's the potential of another case that's just been announced in Washington. You should be standing up and worrying about BSE.

The renewable fuels strategy is important for this province. Renewable fuels are important because these are clean fuels. These are fuels that we can derive from renewable sources. This is a renewable fuel strategy that not only helps the farmers of this province, it helps the health of this province, it helps the environment of this province and more importantly, it helps rural economies. It's very important that we move forward.

There are some great initiatives such as Biox, such as Sudbury, such as the Brant county partnership for the new ethanol project, and Cornwall and the new ethanol project. As well, there are a number of other initiatives such as Iogen in Ottawa, who are prepared to use corn stover and wheat stover and turn that into energy as well. This renewable fuels strategy that we're going to be bringing forward is going to be comprehensive and it's going to make Ontario a leader when it comes to renewable fuels.
