Okay.

The second question I have—because this will be it for my time, I'm fairly sure—can be answered by both organizations, I think.

Here's the other thing that we always struggle with. Do we have strict national standards across the country, such that provinces really have very little flexibility in adjusting for regional needs? Or do we err on the other side: do we have benchmarks or targets, but tons of flexibility in the LMDA agreements with the provinces to adjust for these regional differences?

I'd like both of your senses. Maybe AIA can start, and then Mr. Mendelsohn can answer second.
