Mr. Jim Brown:
When one deals with any customer in financial difficulty - whether it is a mortgage, a business or whatever - circumstances are very difficult to manage. No doubt many of those situations are emotive in terms of having to deal with those issues. There are no doubt customers occasionally who are not happy about the situation that they are in. On the alleged systemic issues with regard to how we handled cases, I have seen no evidence that that is the case.
