I need to get to all of us here, but I need a specific answer, if you can give it to me. Maybe you can't, and that's being honest, but what reduction of GDP on a yearly basis would we see under this scenario?

As a way to lead into this, Ms. Donnelly tabled here, and this is where it hurts pretty good, a minus 43.2% loss in GDP for my province of Saskatchewan. That's pretty huge.

Would you agree or would you disagree with Ms. Donnelly's presentation in terms of a very significant loss in GDP for my province, minus 43.2%?
