The threshold issue is something that comes up with regularity, but in terms of understanding the interplay between the ombudsman's office and that of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, the CITT, I think it's very important that they complement one another. It's structured in such a way that you can't “forum-shop”. The thresholds put you under the thresholds covered by free trade agreements. Free trade agreements are covered by the CITT, which does a fantastic job at adjudicating those disputes. Therefore, the ombudsman's office is necessarily below those thresholds.
