I think that's important also. I'm just trying to understand. You said 82% of the chief financial officers in 22 large government departments held a professional accounting designation. In 2002 this was only 33%.

Does everyone need to have a professional accounting designation? Or if that number were where it should be, what would that 82% be? Would it be 90%? Would it be 95%? Do you have any idea?
