Mr. Ed Sibley:
I can certainly provide details of the assumptions that were used in stress testing. However, stress testing is in no way a forecast. The way I would look at stress testing is that it gives a degree of sensitivity analysis. It shows how sensitive a bank is to different scenarios or issues emerging, rather than giving one, two or three definitive answers.
