The quick answer to that is no. As a matter of fact, we feel that this will actually enhance our base in Montreal.
I think I need to say a few words about Ericsson globally. It's a very old company, developed in 1876. You can tie a lot of parallels between Nortel and Ericsson from that perspective. The company has been in Russia since the time of the czar, in China since the turn of the century, and in many countries for many decades.
The one fact about Ericsson is that it has never, ever left a market. We operate in 170 countries today and we are the world's leading telecommunications provider. Even in the worst times in telecom--and I'm thinking about the earlier part of this decade when a lot of the equipment vendors, including Ericsson, were cutting their staff by almost 50%--the research and development centre in Montreal was maintained as it was, static, and even growing with assignments because of the competence and the products that we develop in Montreal and the importance of the ecosystem we have here in North America.
I think this acquisition and the fact that we basically will be increasing our R and D spending in Canada by up to 50% make this an even more important facility for Ericsson, part of Ericsson's global strategy for development, and should, I would say confidently, allow us to bring more assignments into Montreal.
Thank you for your comments about its importance in Quebec.
