The only other clarification I'd like is on the EI surplus, because we always hear about this surplus. Mr. Godin went on about it today, and I'm not sure why because I think we're changing things so that the surplus no longer continues to build.

There is no surplus sitting out there. Am I correct? There is no $56 billion sitting there. It's notional.
