I'll ask this just quickly, because I have only about a minute left.

On the smart cities challenge, when the U.S. did a similar exercise, the real benefit in my mind wasn't the fact that Columbus got a $50-million or $60-million bonus at the end, but that 77 cities took part. We have a limited number of big cities in Canada. Will there be a mechanism to help encourage small or medium-sized towns and cities to participate in the challenge in Canada?
