I am assuming that the differences in price between the U.S. and Canada or the U.S. and Europe are not that significant. You would think that with the trade agreements and those types of things that we have that there would be some leveling out of prices. You might be able to explain some of the differences because of currency fluctuations and maybe some government regulations from one country to another, but I would not expect that you would find major differences in prices for products that many times were made in the same factory and just distributed from one point and distributed around the world. I am wrong again?
