Let me ask you about COOL. You mentioned COOL.

This committee is leaving for Washington on Wednesday evening to discuss the matter with those who are in the know in Washington--obviously an effort on our part to influence their efforts under COOL.

I'm wondering, given that Minister Ritz and Minister Day, as I understand it, both raised the issue--thankfully--but have been unsuccessful, if you have any advice to this committee before we go to Washington.
