Mr. Chairman, what we do is invite the contractor to participate, so that could be a band council, it could be a contractor. Twenty-one of our airports are operated by other than government crews. It is then up to the contractor to decide whether or not they want to have any of their employees participate in it. I suppose it's up to the employees to make it known to their boss that they want to participate and work on an arrangement. We have not, up to now, paid the travel costs or the lost time for employees to participate in this from contractors. It would be up to each contractor. We hope the contractor will see the value of having their employees participate as well. Thank you.
