Mr. Mackay, thank you for raising that. I'm sure it surprised some members of this committee that your association would be interested in making a presentation, and I'm glad you did. But I'm wondering, here we have a North American market that's about the size of Europe—some 330 million if we exclude Mexico. We don't have the application or the technologies that have come to be taken for granted in Europe and which are resident here. But we haven't thought about using this kind of project to pole-vault our industries into a larger pool in North America. I wonder if that's a business model your association has twigged to.
