Let's by all means address any real issue that exists. If there are deficiencies that are real that exist in the operation of Canadian companies, let's address them. This is precisely the point I was trying to make earlier. We have to be exceptionally careful not to recklessly or carelessly damage the reputation of Canadian companies, particularly when Canadian companies really set the benchmark for the rest of the world today in terms of the standards they meet. Let's improve upon those. Let's work with the companies. Let's ensure there is the maximum benefit for the communities in which they're operating, but let's do so in a way that does not damage those very companies that may be world leaders in terms of the standards they set.
