With regard to the first part of your question, the DRIC process undertook a very extensive environmental assessment process, which was conducted and sponsored by all levels of government—Ontario, Canada, the State of Michigan, as well as the U.S.. A couple of things, as you heard earlier.... They looked at the new bridge position, location, a new plaza, and new roadway connections.
As you can appreciate, building a new bridge, a plaza, and roadway connections in a predominantly large urban centre obviously led to very extensive public awareness and public engagement. We led that process, as a city council. We were out there front and centre on behalf of our community. There were hundreds and hundreds of workshops and many, many opportunities for the public to offer opinions. Those were organized by us, as well as by others, so there was an extensive consultation here.
This issue has gripped this community for the last four to five years. There were a lot of opinions expressed, a lot of feedback given, and a lot of suggestions made, to the point where we also hired our own environmental and transportation experts to inform the process, all of which culminated in the support of the final product. That final product, obviously, was announced once the environmental assessment was completed in 2009. There's a tremendous amount of support for the work and for the DRIC work, and a tremendous amount of support for the environmental assessment process that took place and the result.
With regard to the lawsuits from the Ambassador Bridge, I don't think there's enough time allocated for us today to talk about the number of lawsuits levelled against us by the Ambassador Bridge, but it is a routine occurrence. During the DRIC process, because we had our own team of experts and we were informing the process both on the Canadian side and on the U.S. side, they tried to sue us on the U.S. side unsuccessfully. Most recently, we were involved in a protracted case with them as it relates to zoning and bylaws and to properties they own. We were successful in that as well, but it's routine to be sued. It's also routine for us to be successful.
