Could you repeat the last question to which he gave that answer?
Mr. Schreiber, I would ask you to give a fuller response if there is any specific item that would lead you to believe that you are not prepared.
I will ask Mr. Hiebert to repeat his question, and then I would like you to amplify a little bit more than saying you are not prepared. Would that be okay?
