First, just let me mention that the $10-billion reduction in main estimates that was cited is a comparison of the main estimates for this year coming, 2011-2012, with the previous year, 2010-2011. Of that, $6 billion is due to a reduction in voted spending, $4 billion in statutory spending. Of those four statutory estimates—because we always estimate statutory spending and then the reductions from the estimates of statutory spending—$7 billion of that total $10 billion is probably due to the wind-down of the EAP. Some of what you're referring to in terms of the patterns of spending over time has indeed reflected a very large program spending, the economic action plan, which is now winding down at the end of this fiscal year. That's what shows up in the estimates.
