No, we already have the existing authority to extend to 100 nautical miles. That has been the case since 1996. I'm in my fourth month as minister, so we're moving pretty aggressively to follow through on this commitment. Obviously we do work particularly with the United States. There is the circumpolar council, on which a lot of Canadians and representatives of various affected organizations work in a coordinated fashion. For example, the Minister of the Environment was recently involved in an international discussion with respect to the future of the polar bear. We have generally a pretty good working relationship with the other countries involved. It is not perfect, but that's why Canada can and should be a leader among those countries with respect to environmental legislation and enforcement.
