At Maritime Steel we recognize that there are certain products that, because of our infrastructure and our capital equipment, are more difficult for us to make than third world countries or other world countries. We have, in the microcosm of the foundry industry and of Maritime Steel, decided that some of the smaller product we would actually source from China. I suggest to you that's not a cop-out; it's the only reasonable means we can take to satisfy our customers and customer needs as a complete supplier in the industry that makes any sense. That allows us to dedicate our capital equipment, our people, and our product to areas where we do best, and thus as an organization we're able to survive despite the onslaught from other countries that have a competitive advantage when it comes to low-cost labour.
