Let's look at the amounts for the first two companies. The penalty was on the order of $1.15 billion, so $300 million for the farmers, as I said. There is also $20 million for combating contraband. Part of the money goes to the provinces. There is also $550 million for the last agreement with JTI-Macdonald. That makes $1.7 billion. It is the highest penalty on record in Canada for a crime committed by a resident corporation. In our opinion, a good portion of that money should be used to prevent the problem we are currently facing.
