I appreciate that. That's a very good, interesting, and honest answer.

I want to get to the issue of dealing with the costs that are associated with this plan. We heard testimony from the Pembina Institute, which came with a plan that said the assumptions were that there was no capital flight leaving Canada and that if we implemented the plan with Bill C-311 in an environment in which there wasn't any capital flight leaving Canada and there wasn't any wealth transfer, the economic impact upon the province of Alberta would be about a 12% lower GDP. Were you aware of that report?
