I think you captured my role accurately a bit earlier when you talked about our forecast being very much top down. I'm not analyzing across 150 federal programs totalling $225 billion annually. The advice I've given to Minister Flaherty from the time when I was at the Department of Finance is that good budget-making means you build in some prudence. You build in some operating reserves—$5 billion is the kind of number I like. You use prudent planning assumptions on a going forward basis. We could do that sort of bottom-up analysis, but I'd have to do it on a contractual basis.
