The last number that we have through Stats Can was from the 2006 census, and it shows that about 7.5% of the mining workforce is aboriginal. That is certainly higher today. It's an area that as an association we've worked at promoting. One of our objectives is to increase aboriginal participation in the mining industry, and we do that through our program work as well as through our annual convention. I think it's fair to say that it's now higher than 7.5%.
