I think that's a fair question. The way I have typically responded to that in the past is that this is not a sector in decline; this is a growth sector. We're not losing opportunities for existing workers; we're literally growing the industry. Over the past five years, the Canadian economy grew by 7%. This sector grew by 12%. That means we are creating whole new opportunities. The opportunity to diversify the industry is obviously there, and we need to capitalize on it.
