As I said before, it's done on the phone. The budget did not allow for travel. It was of high interest to DFO officials at the time. They were very pleased with what we had done within the limited budget, and yes, I can be impressed by someone on the phone after I've had probably a half-hour or maybe one-hour conversation with them. They answered questions well. They understood their funding mechanisms, and some of them gave me very positive general impressions.
