Mr. Chair, while I appreciate Mr. Kmiec's amendment to clarify the numbers, we heard testimony from the officials of where the difference in numbers was. One was that Canada is setting an upset limit of $375 million U.S., but currently there is only $199 million U.S. worth of shares available. The idea is that since Canada is not a founding member, should additional shares be available, Canada could purchase more, up to that upset limit. We heard that testimony. I thought it was made very clear, but I'm happy to clarify that the initial investment is $199 million U.S. that's available, and that it's an upset limit, should any additional shares become available after other members choose what share limit they will move forward with. That's the clarification and that's what we heard in testimony from officials.
