	              the world's largest landfill gas to liquid natural gas facility
	              in California, which will fuel Waste Management's fleet of
	              collection and recycling vehicles. Bryan can discuss the
	              challenges and benefits of LNG as a cost effective alternative
	              to diesel fuel and how this technology could be applied in
	              Canada.

	              Jeff Surma, CEO, S4 Energy Solutions:

	              S4 Energy Solutions is a joint venture between Waste Management
	              and InEnTec to develop, operate and market plasma gasification
	              facilities using InEnTec's Plasma Enhanced Melter (PEM(TM))
	              technology. The project is expected to process waste from the
	              country's commercial and industrial waste streams to produce a
	              range of renewable energy and environmentally beneficial fuels,
	              and to generate electricity. Jeff can discuss the challenges
	              and benefits of this emerging alternative waste disposal
	              technology.
