Now, with the five-year horizon, the figures I see in the tables, for example, table 5.8, are heavily back-end loaded. In other words, hardly any of the tax relief promised over the five years takes place in the first two or three years. The promise is that most of it will take place in the last two or three years. And it seems to me if I were a Canadian I would want to see the promise kept right away, because who knows what could happen five years down the road? Anything can happen. There could be a change of government. There could be some kind of fiscal change of heart on the part of the government that made these promises.
