For five years we've kept Mr. Irving's pulp mills busy producing paper on this. And the requests are coming not only from industry; they are coming from provincial governments as well. I know that the intergovernmental affairs department of the Government of Nova Scotia, the Government of Newfoundland, and I believe the Government of Quebec have all asked for this, as have the industry associations and the CAW. I believe it's CAW that represents the shipbuilders in the Irving yards.

So yes, we've been asking for this since 2001.
