To follow up on that, if I may, let me get this straight. Under the new law, a union that expressed its view through its leadership and wanted to be part of a political objective for or against some particular issue cannot, through its union, contribute to a party, but essentially must wage its own advertising or influence campaign. That's essentially the new allowed influence of a union, let's say in New Brunswick, that wants to stop the clear-cutting of forests.
