Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, to break up the post-lunch stupor, we're going to carry on with the presentations. Very pleased to have Tom Flynn, Chief Financial Officer of Bank of Montreal, who's apparently a veteran at our conference on these days. Tom, thank you very much for joining us.

Questions and Answers:
John Aiken - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Director & Senior AnalystTom, we're actually talking beforehand to the macro, and there's a lot of concern on the macro front these days. Whether it's going to come to fruition or not is up for debate. But I was wondering at the outset, how does Barclays manage for, I guess, contingencies, eventualities, positive or negative, in terms of how do you try to put the platform in best shape? Or what may or may not occur?
