The clean energy future plan which the government announced contains some of the most significant industry and innovation policies seen. We will be investing over $15 billion in creating not only the jobs of tomorrow but also jobs in manufacturing. The various programs the government has put in place include a Jobs and Competitive­ness Program, the Clean Technology program, the Clean Energy Finance Corpora­tion and of course the Steel Transformation Plan. As I said in answer to the senator second's question, we do recognise that there are some regions and communities which will face potentially more significant impacts than others from reforms and the $200 million structural adjustment package has been set aside for that purpose.
