That is correct. In fact I'm in Sydney right now for one of our annual exercises. It's a 10,000-tonne simulated spill and the Coast Guard is always involved in our exercises. As I mentioned they're part of the unified command, but their staff are also involved in different sections within the command post and, of course, on the water as well. The Coast Guard does have their own spill response capabilities and we do train with them in doing on-water skimming operations. That applies to the entire coast of B.C. I would say that the relationship and training and partnership between WCMRC and the Coast Guard on the west coast is extremely strong.
