Thanks.

I represent Kelowna—Lake Country. I've been there for about 25 years, but I spent the first half of my life in Edmonton, in the Alberta market, so I know that the decline has had a big impact especially in that region, as we've heard from other witnesses.

I want to know whether you still stand by this statement from your January 30 press release:

There is less chance of Ottawa reporting a deficit for fiscal 2015-16 than there is of the Maple Leafs winning the Stanley Cup.

We'll see how that goes.
