Thank you, Madam Chair. Something interesting that happens to our businesses and equipment that operate in B.C., Madam Chair, I don't know if it's applicable under Transportation or not, but it's something similar. If we do work in B.C., our equipment and our businesses are taxed right away. Even though we have our own form of protection, they do that in B.C., as well. I think they charge the company the sales tax on equipment that runs in B.C. So a piece of equipment like a water truck that goes from Fort Liard to B.C., not only are they trying to gain revenue from work over there, but on top of that, the B.C. government sends that company a bill for eight or 10 percent for that piece of equipment's value. So they are taxing our equipment to work in B.C. Is that something we should be doing as well, Madam Chair, for increased revenues? Thank you.
