Yes, Mr. Chairman, Public Works have recently sent out an advisor indicating that they are expecting to see about a 10 percent increase in costs. That is due to heated up economy competition for skilled workers, contractors who are busy and are not hungry for new projects. So we are expecting that this is happening. It is happening here. It is probably happening in other parts of Canada right now, Alberta in particular. Thank you.
