Thank you. Question period is over. Before we go to the next item, there was a question asked by Mr. Ootes that was interpreted by the Minister as being hypothetical. If there is a hypothetical question, it wouldn't be asked. So I didn't interpret Mr. Ootes's question as being hypothetical, but the Minister did interpret it as such. I just wanted to make that clear.

Item 7, written questions. Mr. Ootes.
