I don't have exact figures on that on hand. I can say that the litigation before the WTO is done by government counsel, so there is no added cost to it. Some of the litigation before the CUSMA and the NAFTA panels is done by private sector law firms that work for the Government of Canada. There's a litigation cost associated with that, but I'm sorry—I don't have the exact numbers.

I might ask Mr. Barker if he knows that.
