Thank you, Madam Chair. So this is information that is also -- there certainly is supporting information that comes from the Department of Finance's fiscal policy office, and -- I mean, simple fact is that in the last couple of years in particular, you'll -- if you look back to the 2021 Actuals, they're quite down around $3 million. Again, there was a significant drop in -- in revenue across the board at the beginning of the pandemic and through the summer and spring, and that's again where, you know, with the volatility there, it was quite obvious that we were anticipating things to not recover as quickly as they did.

It is difficult to predict, Madam Chair, and the fact is that we have a fairly small -- at the end of the day, this is actually a very small number to be -- and a small number of payers from whom we're trying make those predictions. So they don't come out in the wash as they might if it was a larger economy with more people paying. It would kind of even itself out. That's not the economic situation that we are in. And companies that are doing poorly might well have been, you know, finding -- or looking at opportunities to -- to use, you know, past years credits in bad years in the last couple years. So all of which is to say it's difficult to predict, but we do certainly do our best between both ITI and Finance working on this and in conjunction with information with Canadian Revenue Agency. Thank you, Madam Chair.
