Given the sensitivities--you've all talked about the nature of the Arctic environment as very fragile in terms of what oil pollution can do there as opposed to some other place where it might dissipate more quickly--what about preparedness? It seems to me that things are happening very fast. The lead time for building an icebreaker, we were told, is 10 years, for example. Do you have any sense of a lack of urgency in terms of response at this point? Are you encouraging greater...? I'm not using the word “panic” here, but are we at the point where we'd better get acting fast before the changes catch up with us?
