I was going to do this after the meeting, but I'd like to clarify one thing about your mains for this year.

Based on your discussion then, in your mains for this year, total budgetary expenditure is $2.5 billion, almost $2.6 billion, based on the mains. Then I see, in your plans and priorities, the forecast for 2011-12 is $2.7 billion. What has happened between the mains and the plans and priorities?

Finally, in your view as a financial guy, would we be better off changing the schedule around so that the plans and priorities actually match what you're freaking asking for?

Thank you.
