Internally we measure it as part of our macroeconomic modelling. We have a macroeconomic model with close to 400 equations. When you drop $2.6 billion into the Canadian economy, which is several trillion dollars, we're able to come up with point estimates or estimates of the inflationary impact. Needless to say, given the sums of money involved, the size of the economy and the size of how much we're actually looking at spending incrementally in Bill C-30, the impact is relatively small—well, it's small for the federal government, but, going back to a point that was made earlier, it's potentially quite substantial with respect to the impact on households and the targeted households.
