Switching gears here, one of the big challenges we have in rural Alberta is not just the skilled.... And I don't really like those terms, “skilled” and “non-skilled” workers, because when you're talking about farm labourers there is quite a training time and most of these guys take four, five, or six months to actually train. In our temporary foreign workers program, you can only actually be here for a year. One of the big problems we have with this program is the inability, once you get these people trained, to keep them on for one or two years. I realize this may be an immigration issue, but I'd like you to speak to that a little and whether there's something we can do in that regard.
