I want to jump in on that last point regarding the project in the Boston Scientific plant. Has an analysis been done of the emissions that have been displaced because of the investment in that system in the last two years? It is probably very obvious that there is a benefit from an emissions point of view, but a rigorous analysis of that, if Mr. Coffey has it, would be very helpful to the committee from the point of view of emissions and also cost. I have no doubt the cost was significant and that is a leap the company took. Insight on these two factors would help us if we are to produce a report that would recommend some kind of supports for this sector.
