The only thing we're asking from government in terms of AWOS is capital assistance to initially put it in in the north, and by that I mean the three northern territories and northern Quebec. The reason for that is simply the very high site construction costs in these areas. I think, just to give you a rough order of magnitude, all 50 sites that we would have in mind in those areas—and these are all airports in small communities—could be done over a four- or five-year period with government assistance in the area of $40 million to $45 million. So it's not a huge sum of money. Nav Canada would pay for the equipment and subsequently maintain and run it. It's just that we can't find a way to justify in a small community, where there are two or three flights a day—albeit some are medevac flights required to save people's lives and so on—making those kinds of investments. And we don't even get revenue from a lot of these flights. But as someone who worked in the north for a very long time, I think this would be a really huge and smart infrastructure investment that we would urge the government to make.
