"the CO2 tax was also reduced quite substantially. It wasn't eliminated, but ultimately, as you can see on this slide, the, the final part in that kind of fiscal package was a natural gas credit which was applied to corporate income tax, provincial corporate income tax. So that, that reduced the provincial corporate income tax effectively from 12% to 9%, leaving a net 24% tax rate. So obviously if you compare that with the corporate and— sorry, the, the federal and state corporate income tax here, because federal tax is allowable, it comes to 28.4%"

So effectively, it's an interest-free loan for 20 years for the project to repay finally. And then the, the other two elements that happened— one was that the CO2 tax was also reduced quite substantially. It wasn't eliminated, but ultimately, as you can see on this slide, the, the final part in that kind of fiscal package was a natural gas credit which was applied to corporate income tax, provincial corporate income tax. So that, that reduced the provincial corporate income tax effectively from 12% to 9%, leaving a net 24% tax rate. So obviously if you compare that with the corporate and— sorry, the, the federal and state corporate income tax here, because federal tax is allowable, it comes to 28.4% as opposed to adding the two numbers together.
