I would just reiterate the fact that compared with the manufacturing sector as a whole, our industry is a leader in productivity gains over the last five years in spite of all these conditions. So I think it's fair to say that in terms of answering the bell and increasing productivity, our industry has certainly stepped up to the plate. As I said, our industry has increased energy efficiency by 17% in five years compared with 3% across the rest of the manufacturing sector. So the indicators are there that our members are making the effort and, where possible, the investments to make those gains, and still, at the end of the day, they're not getting the return on investment or the payback that a typical investor would be looking for.
