I guess I just struggle a little bit. I generally don't get too worked up over these committee budgets, but I do struggle a little bit with that number. When I look at Vancouver at $2,000, I think, okay, I know flights from Vancouver can be expensive, but for Toronto it is almost the same number and it's a heck of a lot closer and it costs nowhere near $1,500 to fly to Ottawa from Toronto. I guess there's a night in a hotel in there and whatnot, but I just feel we should try to at least make some effort to be realistic with the numbers. That one seems high. I don't know how this works, but if someone wanted to take advantage of that, they could get a pretty nice suite in a hotel for the evening for that price.
