I am going to speak in French because it's easier.

You are assuming that these projects, which cost $100 million to complete, could be 90% completed. According to the survey of our members, it is actually the case that projects worth $100 million would not be completed. So we can't talk about a partial completion factor. You're saying that it's $30 million at stake. We aren't talking about $3 million, we're talking about $30 million. The survey we did was not about that. The other projects, for which 90% might be paid, were not included in the projects costing $100 million.
