Yes, I do believe it is certainly an urgent issue. Part of the reason is that we have national momentum in this area, and it's fuelling to some extent some of the interest in attracting very good people and companies into British Columbia and other parts of Canada, so the answer to that question is yes, if eventually there is no funding from a national source, then to some extent it doesn't become a national priority.
