The challenge with any ODA/GNI figure is that it requires a multiple of variables. One is the actual level of aid. When we do that calculation, we adjust for currency rate, currency fluctuations, the rate of growth of the Canadian economy. It is very difficult to predict what the ODA/GNI ratio is prospectively. That's why we do it retrospectively for previous years.
