Of somebody else; I appreciate that.
To RESULTS, I don't have much time left, but we do hear your message. In fact, I think we have heard the message. In the 2008 budget, we met our commitment for doubling our aid to Africa. We have $5 billion to 2010 for aid. I think this government has been active in trying to get to where we want, with about $450 million towards AIDS research and fighting some of those issues.
So we hear you. It is a tough year, as you've indicated. We'll see what comes of it.
I want to turn to my friends from the arts community, if I could.
As I said yesterday, I'm pretty active in the arts myself, not as a participant but as an audience member. I have been working since 1999 to try to get a performing arts centre for the city of Burlington. It's under construction. We can thank partly our government for that happening in terms of infrastructure money.
I'm a member of Theatre Aquarius. This summer we went to Shaw again, and we've gone to Stratford. I'm very active in the performing arts piece in terms of being somebody who pays money to go and see it.
I have two points, and I'd like to start with Mr. Waddell. We've met before on this issue.
One of your recommendations--I like to deal with the specifics--is the averaging of income over five years. That hasn't been in existence since 1981.
