I think the barriers to trade are something that my other panellists here might have something more to say about. But I know there are certainly opportunities to avoid being cut out of certain markets if our technologies and our leadership on the environmental side tend to lag international standards. Europe tends to lead on a lot of standards, which from my experience in the mining industry drove a lot of Canadian practice and allowed us to continue to access those markets. I also know that the clean technology side of our manufacturing and industrial base is something that we have a huge opportunity to do with our resources. So I think, on both counts, showing leadership allows us to access markets we might not otherwise have access to. In the meantime, it will allow us to take a proactive and precautionary approach to the underpinnings of our environment.
