The short answer is no. The $3.5 billion you talked about is not from the Bank of Canada, but from the Government of Canada, which provides those guarantees. As I said, the Bank of Canada does not provide guarantees; the Bank of Canada does not provide capital. This is a fiscal issue, in a sense. Our mandate is to provide liquidity, to create money as needed, in order to achieve our monetary policy objective.
