I don't want to debate it. I think the Standing Committee on Finance was very careful to have a balanced approach. The reality is that, at the present time the fiscal situation is pretty good. On the other hand, I think we are very clear that we're very, very vulnerable in the future. I think Mr. Pollard is also well aware that not only does the Department of Finance in Ottawa listen to our debates, but they read all the financial records coming from all the jurisdictions so they are quite aware of everybody's relative position. Thank you.
