The main reason that we're up is that Nortel's weighting was being increased in the S&P 500, so what we were really seeing is the Nortel rally ... and it pulled BCE along. Without that, it would have been a flat day.

I think it and the others will benefit as we see higher profits from the refining segment as well as from the oil production segment of their business.
