Mr. Speaker, I knew going in that we were not going to make a profit, so our intention was to try to break even. Mr. Speaker, we stood to lose some $2.5 million if we did not start the exposition, so I would be happy to maintain just a $2.5 million loss or less. Indications are, right now, that we are going to be short by another $500,000 or $600,000. I will provide more financial details to the House next week. Some of the verbal reports that have been provided by Mr. Nerysoo have already been put into place at the exposition right now. We have already decided that, having lost at least three or four staff members now, we will not be sending replacements over there. So there are some things taking place right now. Whether or not we will be able to suggest some drastic things next week, I do not know; but I will report back to the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
