Mr. John McKeon:
It does. Another thing they did, to be fair, was a sensitivity analysis. High, low and base case earnings growth models were all done. I agree with the Comptroller and Auditor General. Many of these assumptions have to be examined. There was a projection that we would be heading back into deficit in 2019 but we are not. The surplus is actually growing. Even within three years, therefore, this has gone a little askew. We hope that is goes more askew in the same direction.
