Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We weren't involved in the last stages of budget development. Our last correspondence to the Finance Minister was October 3rd, in a letter outlining our concerns. The letter written by Manley indicates that the reduction or elimination of the excise tax on jewellery would have to be examined in the context of overall fiscal priorities of the federal government. So I think that was a way where we were involved. We weren't very involved in a substantial way, but I think it had an impact. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
