I was just going to say that another area I want to mention is that Canada, in my view, has fallen behind in how we treat people with disabilities. The Americans have the Americans With Disabilities Act, and Canadians don't one. I know it's jurisdictional and everything else, but it's really very sad the way people have to combat all kinds of challenges without more government assistance.

Thank you, gentlemen.
