In all of these contracts, under the aegis of the defence procurement strategy that was announced a few years ago, we now have weighted and rated value propositions. As part of those value propositions, there will be aboriginal offsets and other things built in. Now, the bidders have to propose them, but generally they do, and they are there, but I would also say for all the shipyards across Canada, it's almost self-preservation, in the context of they need apprentices everywhere. I volunteered for a while with an organization that was looking at the traditional kinds of trades. It's self-preservation to actually bring in, I will say, more employment equity, more gender balance, more first nations. Without that, there will be great difficulty creating the workforce to carry this off. Again, both of the shipyards, Davie, as well, have worked very hard to bring in non-traditional people, and it's very exciting to go to either yard and see the people they've brought in to do the work.
