Thank you.

I just have one final question. We've seen, as you mentioned, different priorities.

Let's set aside all the COVID spending for a moment. If you compared total annual spending pre-COVID versus the total annual spending now, that's a 25% increase that's projected this year versus the year before COVID.

Would you characterize that as fiscal restraint?
