The risk has increased with limited options. The more the options of various supply sources are limited, the more our risk increases. The cost is also higher because Russia, to eastern Canada, is a cheaper supply source in terms of transit. Also, as Marc mentioned, it also improves our ability to have the product there when we need it. When we have to source from other regions, it really just increases the risk of availability as well as the cost of supply to eastern Canada.
