It was because in the 2005 campaign my riding association did not receive a refund. That means we had to start from scratch. One year later we had an election. We managed to raise or spend $21,000. Actually, we ran a deficit for the first little while, but we spent $21,000. I have $80,000 in my cap, so net, $80,000 minus $20,000 is $60,000. They came to me because I spent only $20,000. If I had won or if my candidate had gotten 5% more the last time, I would have had $40,000—I already had $20,000—and probably would never have used the buy-in.
