Seeing my time is ticking away, what I'd do is I'll point into two areas. The first is that it does seem risky that we're almost -- almost, I know not exactly so I'm not trying to give you that impression, but almost doubling our current debt with the addition. That does sound scary by any means. Risky, if not. The other thing is is the other aspect of concern that if we're not borrowing it based on principles of us becoming active partners in our business case, I'm surprised we're asking for so much. And the last piece I'll say, Mr. Chairman, is that while memory doesn't serve me very well on this particular point, in the sense of nostalgia I seem to remember my first GNWT budget was in the range of $800 million and change. So we're borrowing more than the first budget I remember with a $300 million debt limit at that time. So a lot has changed in just over 20 years. Thank you.
