I would say the minister spent quite a bit of time on the numbers the other day, and on the reasons why he and we believe they are conservative. Yes, I think the answer he provided the other day was that he did take—apropos the discussion of extending the transition period from four years to ten years—the $500 million of estimated costs and multiplied them by six to come up with a number of $3 billion for that.
There is obviously more that goes into that when you get through it, as my colleague has mentioned. And as Mr. Bruce has said, there has been some decline in tax rates during that period of time. There has also been, according to our observation, quite an appreciation in the profits during that period. Washing those two out, we thought, was another example of being conservative, thus giving support to the numbers that had been previously provided to the committee.
