It is certainly something we've seen. Luckily, there is action well in progress in the form of a regulatory review process in Alberta, where just in the past few weeks they have announced some streamlining at the provincial level to eliminate duplication without reducing standards. As well, there is a federal-provincial regulatory streamlining initiative under way. I can't recall the name of it exactly, but we had one of the associate deputy ministers from Natural Resources Canada actually come to speak to us at our environmental forum last year. It sounds as though progress is being made in resolving that problem.
