I can give a bit of background about how we do our demographic modelling.

Essentially, as part of our economic outlook, there is a combination of our own modelling on the immigration flow in the short term kind of converging with the medium-growth scenario from StatsCan. The different dynamic happening in different parts of the country is part of our base estimate because that's reflected in their own modelling.
