Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

That is a fact. We do not really have any choice but to live with that. We could take more risks. The only way to get higher returns in today's environment would be to take more risks with that money. However, we would not recommend that because it is probably only going to be there for a very short period of time. We would have to take a bit of a gamble on where stock markets will be at the time we need to liquidate. There is very little appetite to take risks with those funds.
