It's an excellent question, Mr. Watson. The short answer would be spring. If all of this could be done with final proclamation by spring, that would be the best.

I'll reflect back to what I said earlier. Trade is projected to double by 2020, and that is 11 years away. We simply have to dovetail everything that encourages commercialization and development at the same time as we hit this impending growth. So spring would be the answer, sir.
