Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't believe that explains what I'm trying to find out here. I guess there are two things happening here. One is that even with our proposed income tax increase for this upcoming fiscal year, we are projecting less income from personal income tax this upcoming year, according to this page. In the previous year, comparing the main estimates for 2003-2004 and the actuals, we are seeing an increase where a more logical answer to me would have been that you would have seen a decrease because of the introduction of an increase in exemption, which I understood would bring us less money. I'm trying to be rational and clear in my questioning, because I understand that whenever tax is involved it's pretty complicated. I wonder if the Minister understands my conundrum here. The numbers don't seem to jibe there. Thank you.
