Mr. John O'Beirne:

As part of restructuring any mortgage, what one is trying to do is find a process that is sustainable and works for the customer. When we look at the range of forbearance treatments that we have they cover everything from short, to medium to longer term. More and more we are looking to ensure that what is put in place is sustainable for the longer term. I think 91% of all of the forbearance arrangements that we have in place are maintained and held. As interest rate environments arise and as people's environments change, it goes back to the previous discussion, it is something that the bank looks to engage and work on with people.
