I'm sorry, I didn't bring that material with me.

One of the key things to remember is that the 25% of $47,000 is very small. Yes, if you move to half of $47,000, it's higher. On the other hand, if you start at 60 and keep indexing over the longer term, we think that would be more beneficial. We're prepared to agree to go higher than 25%, but if you move the cap higher, you would in the longer run increase the pension incomes of older people.
