Mr. Chairman, I've been asking about this kind of accounting entry for many years. I still, even having listened to the learned debate of Mr. Koe and Mr. Pollard, can't understand it. It seems to me that governments are downsizing all over the country and that we're less and less likely to see people in our public service retiring or fleeing because there's no longer any other alternatives in southern Canada. So I think that they're going to stay and they're going to probably be anxious to hold on to their jobs as the financial crunch worsens. So I'm tempted to ask Mr. Pollard what will happen if we refuse to approve this item, but I've asked this question before and I've been assured that I don't understand accounting principles, which I know is true. So, if Mr. Koe is satisfied, I'm satisfied, and I will make no further comments. Thank you.
