Okay.

There's been a lot of talk about harmonization. You comment on working on different files--Canada takes some files, the EPA takes some files. You mentioned the different acts you have to work with--I think the Species at Risk Act was the one you mentioned for Canada, and I don't remember the other one you mentioned for the United States--in working towards harmonization. How far will harmonization go? Will we end up being 75% harmonized? Is there a target, or is it simply something we strive for to reduce costs?
