Why don't I speak to that from the Department of Finance's perspective.
In large measure, the deficit in 2008-09 reflects the onset of the recession. You see that when you look at budgetary revenues, particularly the large drop in corporate income tax revenues. You'll recall that the global recession really accentuated in the last quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Canada and other countries experienced very sharp declines in both output and incomes, and that fed through directly into our revenue base.
