Kitimat is not a port authority, but if I'm not mistaken in my geography, Kitimat is now within both the tanker exclusion zone and the oil spill prevention zone. We look at it from the point of view of the port authorities, which simply means that any of the petroleum product that is available that would have gone out through Kitimat will go out to Vancouver. Again we're agnostic on what cargo is handled. We are here to support the government's policy priorities. That said, the port authorities in all cases have been getting ready and are working with their various terminal partners to be able to plan for and go for that increased capacity should it come.
