Mr. Nicholls, first off, I thank you for putting a face on this, because when I look at this, I look at numbers, but every morning when I wake up, I realize that we've just affected the lives of 647 people, and the administrative assistant who just lost her job is as important as Pierre. The person, the technician who lost his job, who allows a Céline or a Peter Mansbridge to be able to deliver, is as important. There are 647 stories today of people who are affected. Those are the choices we have to make. My mandate is to ensure that we have a balanced budget. Those are the choices. They come with it, and we have to balance—and I think Shelagh's comment is important—whether we are still going to be able to meet the mandate and deliver and tell you what's going on in Montreal, and, if the answer is yes, how we are going to do this differently. That's the answer to your question.
