So my question, this is to Secretary Mullen, or you can defer it, but is DHS and specifically CBP prepared right now to facilitate trade and travel at the bridge? Yes, we are. Once again, we have the personnel dedicated, ready to move. The contractor hasn't signed off on final stuff. He had a deadline 1 May. He didn't make that deadline. So we're still waiting on that to take place. We are, we're prepared, we're staffed, we're ready to go. Once that's done, there's still negotiations between Canada and the United States that's not within dhs that has to be resolved. (02:51–02:57)
