The decision around the CDI was a very interesting one. As we understand it, the reason for the CDI's being cancelled was because it was successful, because it was doing well. That's contrary to what normally happens inside of government, and inside of the private sector, really. When things are doing well, you ramp it up, particularly during an economic crisis. To cancel it because it was doing well doesn't make a lot of sense. We would have hoped that we would tweak it, enhance it, that it would be a collaboration, a partnership, and taken to the next level, which I think would have had some really important benefits for the country.
