We have an international section through which we work very closely with the British-Irish Council. A few months ago, I chaired a meeting of the various jurisdictions. It was quite interesting because they are experiencing the same problems. They also have solutions. It was a very worthwhile collaboration. That collaboration is ongoing, but we need to do a lot more. We have a great deal more in common with cities such as Liverpool, Belfast, Glasgow and London than we have with other cities. That collaboration is very worthwhile but it probably needs to be enhanced.
