If I may add to that, at one time, for example, I was told clearly that Libya would like to do business with us and not the Americans. They want North American technology but they want to go through Canadians; they don't want to go to the Americans.
In Algeria, SNC-Lavalin has been doing business, even during the bad years. We were rewarded, big time, with many contracts because we stayed during the bad years. We shared the political risk that we talked about before. If you sacrifice a bit, you get rewarded. Many contracts in Algeria were given to SNC-Lavalin because it survived the 10 years that were tremendously bad in Algeria. And of course speaking French helps a lot. SNC-Lavalin has been the leading engineering company in Africa for a long time.
Because we speak French, we were the first company in Africa for a number of years. That helped us a great deal. It gave us an advantage over other companies like Bechtel or any other American or international corporation. Since we spoke French and were close to our clients, we could overcome the American obstacle and win a number of contracts. They think we are different from the Americans or the Europeans. They also wanted to put an end to the way that they awarded contracts to the French and to the British. The Europeans had a captive market in those countries. They want Canadians. We must find some way to capitalize on that advantage.
