Economists amuse me in that although they are very learned men and women, when I spoke about 100% mortgages I was told to go back to them when quantified research data was available. If a person wants to know what the weather is like, it is sometimes better to look out the window rather than look up what gurus are saying on computers.

I thank Members for their comments this morning. Outside of our political chat, I wish everybody here a happy Christmas, and we can resume in the new year.
