So how do you think about affordability impact if you're backfilling the capex with projects in the rate base in addition to those offshore projects still moving forward?

Question: Andrew Weisel - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. That's a good reminder. Then one last kind of maybe funny question. In terms of the potential buyer, are there any requirements of preferences for the buyer to be a U.S.-domiciled company? Or could it just as easily be an international buyer?
