I don't know the answer on a per year basis, but if we look at the Department of Finance's estimate, which is that the expenditure is between $5 million and $40 million for every $1 billion invested in the oil sands, and then we look at the trend in capital expenditure that we've seen, we would estimate that between 1997 and 2005, for example, the expenditure would be between $207 million and $1.65 billion, based on the Department of Finance's estimate.
