We believe this historic agreement will be met with continued appreciation across this country. We've found that Canadians are strongly supportive. We've found that business people are supportive. We can say that the Ontario Chamber of Commerce said that they were encouraged by the finance minister's decision to move ahead with national pension reform. We can say that the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association “welcomes Canada's Finance Ministers' commitment to moving forward with addressing the gaps in retirement savings by Canadians”. We can tell you that we are seeing support across the country for what we know is a long-term improvement in Canadians' retirement outcomes and, better yet, it is being done in a gradual way that assures that our economy can continue to be strong.
