I think there are solutions out there, and they are being implemented. I think the Ukrainian example is one that works very well. I know from my members that we have 20 to 30 seafarers who came this year because Transport Canada basically sealed a deal with Ukraine on recognizing their credentials. Now seafarers from Ukraine are welcome to work on Canadian ships. That's two ships right there that can be manned. If that program continues and more of this credential recognition is done with other countries, there is definitely a way to welcome seafarers.
