Thank you.

I'll switch to Mr. Sproul and Mr. MacPherson.

What we've been talking about is a lot of the foreign ownership of licences and quotas and the foreign control or centralized control of those licences and quotas. Are there other factors that would determine where a harvester may take their product, such as the supply chain for their operations—ice, fuel and gear and so on? Would control over the licences and quotas be the only piece that would need to be looked at, or are there other pieces as well?
