I've seen an increasing willingness to hire Canadians for lead roles that shoot up here. When I started, they would always just fly in L.A. people to do the lead roles.

I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving.

There's a lot of us out here that are birds, man. We all need to just fly.

There is an increasing willingness to take every expense short of salary and call it non-recurring.

Katrina was one of those we've seen increasing in intensity but we can't say Katrina by itself was part of this factor. There is a substantial amount of natural variability.

Canadians haven't been conditioned that Canadian forces are going to be asked to take more aggressive combat roles.
