I want to quickly point out that I think we'll all recall that when the tsunami hit, Canadians dug into their pockets over and above the tax dollars given by the government. It was overwhelming to see how much support they wanted to give. It is the same with any other disaster that's come along: Canadians are very giving. So I don't think you'll see any opposition from Canadians to the disaster relief these dollars will contribute to.
