But in answer to your question, the accelerated capital cost allowance gives the Canadian-built registered ships a thirty-three-and-one-third straight line reduction in the rate, so that might be preferable in certain circumstances to the SFF. If that is not preferable, we want to give some break to shipbuilders, and I think that's the kind of balanced approach the SFF represents. It's an alternative to the accelerated capital cost allowance, if that is not a preferred option by a shipbuilder. In that sense, I think it's a more holistic policy, and that's why we think it's defensible.
