That's interesting. Thank you for that response.
I wanted to ask Mr. Dancey something. It's not often we have a former official here who can answer some questions.
As you know, today the government, which had forecast that the surplus in this budget would be less than $1 billion--it in fact turned out to be quite a bit more than that--has been able to put $13.2 billion into debt reduction, to pay down the national debt. I wonder if you can give me and the committee some idea of what this is really going to mean in terms of funds that are freed up that currently have to go to debt reduction, and whether you think there will be other benefits from this in the long term, benefits other than just a fiscal dividend from paying down the debt.
