I can add that if you take the convention sector--and by this I mean the stand-alone convention centres, not the ones that are located in hotels, and there were about seven that we surveyed--in 2005 they reported total spending of $119 million, of which the GST was $8.3 million. The individual delegates who were coming to these conventions were spending in the order of $76 million of that $119 million. So clearly there's a substantial amount of money being spent that, as I mentioned, given how tight the market is, is now threatened or imperilled by this decision.
