Sure. I'll be brief.
There is a vast amount of money circulating through the world economy, of course, and right now, unfortunately, we happen to be going through a very challenging time. There have been some losses, but you wouldn't want to leave with the sense that everyone's losing money and of necessity the taxpayer or governments are going to wind up picking up the pieces.
Just to put things in context, we start from a very strong position. Our banks have been very well capitalized. Our firms have on average been very profitable, although obviously there are some sectoral differences. And households, especially in Canada, are in good shape. Our housing situation and our housing prices, of course, have been quite different from those in the United States.
Equity prices, while down very recently, are about flat year on year, and if you take a five-year period--these figures just happen to stick in my mind--Canadian equity is up 80%. So there is net wealth to draw on and a fairly strong starting point.
I don't know if this, in part, answers your question.
