I will let my colleagues from the big banks answer that. As for us, the small banks, we do not have that kind of compensation. I will say, however, that yes, Canadian banks are very profitable, and that has served us well. It has helped us to get through this crisis and to preserve an important financial system. For every dollar we make in profit, we also pay a lot in taxes. The banking sector is a major contributor to government coffers. But executive compensation is not really much of an issue for us.
