Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

Welcome, Mrs. d'Auray and Mr. Smith. I will ask you a couple of questions, but do not be afraid, I will not cut you off.

Regarding the important measures contained in the 2010-2011 Budget, including the freeze until 2012-2013, that will generate savings of $1.8 billion, I understand that the regular increases will be frozen. Will this move in fact help generate savings of $1.8 billion?
