We feel that it's a better model if officers are able to work with the workplaces in advance, in a situation where the workplace parties are taking care of their hazards together. This situation will free up our resources to do more of that. We're doing that, but when we're spending our time on these refusal processes, which can be very lengthy, the workplaces are put it in a difficult situation. We recognize that. Our officers are put in a difficult situation. We're not advancing our mandate, and we're not making the workplace fair and safe and productive.
