Actually, we have been looking at that. We have a community representative from the CAW working in Windsor, working with Sandra Pupatello and her office. I know we're talking federal-provincial here.

But they're actually moving a facility into what used to be a facility in Windsor that closed down. They're going to be making wind turbines, so they're going to be creating 200 jobs in Windsor. They're bringing that work down to Windsor because of the high unemployment in Windsor, where those jobs didn't exist before. So as for creating the work in areas where there is higher unemployment, there are efforts being made to do that now.

I want to thank you.

I'm out of time. I cut everybody else off, so I'm going to cut myself off.

I want to thank you all for being with us here this afternoon. It was a very interesting panel discussion.

Colleagues, we will see you first thing tomorrow morning.
