And the EU is contemplating similar action. I guess we'll see if the companies do something similar in Canada to what they did in Australia. It's estimated that the new deals brought in $200M into the industry in the first year there.
The cbc article I read said that C-18 doesn’t allow the deals that were made in Australia. So I don’t think that’s coming.
