I would have thought, Mr. Chairman, that given the historically low rates we've had for the last three, four, and five years, the Government of Canada would have done everything it could to lock in these low interest rates for 10, 20, 30, 40 , or 50 years if it could, so that we would get a good return to the taxpayers of Canada, and 7.18% on $21 billion for the next 15 or 20 years is a fairly expensive bill that we're going to have to pay.
