On the reference to cost to conduct this, my understanding is that the cost to do some sort of analysis of this wouldn't be that great. We just emulate the methodologies that other countries have used. I don't believe there's a significant cost, and I don't see the question—Mr. Jean's argument—of what is the benefit of doing this. I would counter that with, what is the advantage of not having this information? We may be surprised that either the number is significantly lower than that of our trading partners or it may be higher. We don't really know, but in a small open economy with a disproportionately large presence in the international banking sector, having some estimate from our perspective, I think, is even more important than for some of these other countries.
