With regard to sewage, work has been underway with the provinces for the past three or four years with a view to implementing one of these famous Pan-Canadian standards. We are on the verge of signing an agreement with all the provinces. This is part of the recommendations that will be submitted shortly to all ministers. With this recommendation, we will be in a position to act in a concerted manner in order to have a common basis throughout the country. There's been much progress in this work, and we're very pleased to see that there is now convergence for all communities in this country.
