Merci, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Giguère, you're quite correct in the sense that the exact difference you are referring to is $3.3 billion. What happened is that we should have actually put a little memo at the bottom of this to state....
If you recall in the public accounts last year, what actually happened is a lot of the GBEs converted to international financial reporting standards. As such, there was an adjustment of $3.3 billion that was booked in the prior year. Essentially, the biggest component was Canada Post, where they basically had some $3 billion. They fully recognized their pension obligation on their books. That restatement was done in the prior year. When you look at the closing number at the end of 2011, that is exactly the number that we closed with.
Last year, because of this restatement, the $616 billion became $620 billion once we had the adjustment. To make this more clear, we should have actually made a note of it to disclose the fact that the $620 billion was a restated amount, taking into consideration that one-time adjustment that was done in the prior year.
