The simple answer to that is that given the volume of vessels that have been built in, let's say, a country like Norway over a period of time, one finds that the actual cost of constructing a vessel will decrease as the number of vessels produced increases. It's what we call the learning curve. So in terms of decreased costs, there are certainly instances in which a country like Norway will have lower costs of production than will Canada. That being said, as far as levels of productivity go, the current owner of Davie Yards--and the current owner is a Norwegian company--has gone on record and identified that Davie Yards itself is as productive a shipyard as any Norwegian yard. But again, in terms of volumes of vessels and the learning curve, there would be a delta in terms of cost.
