Certainly, if you're going to do business with a dictator, it's going to be very challenging. What we'd like to see.... As I mentioned, Nevsun and other Canadian companies have a lot of leverage. Eritrea is financially desperate right now. They have no capacity to develop these mining sites themselves. As such, the Canadian companies—or companies from wherever—can ensure and demand that there be opportunities for individuals who are working for either Nevsun or for the subcontractors to express their grievances and to be protected, and for those grievances to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. That's not to say that it will be easy to do such a thing, in a repressive environment like Eritrea's. All we can ask is that they try to undertake that process.
