I've been involved with the harbour authority since it started in 1996. I believe that for the minor work, absolutely, there's an improvement, because less than $50,000 we're allowed to administer ourselves. So we go out and we get estimates and costs and we do the work and basically hire people ourselves. Over the $50,000, I feel those contractors recognize that they're working for the government, and I believe they inflate the price. I really do. I mean, we have work being done on our wharf right now that started in January.
