For clarity, I wasn't just talking about credit for vehicles in the States being the problem. Overall credit is what I was referring to.
I'm curious, and I want to talk just a little bit about the long term, about long-term viability and our ability to keep manufacturers here. I assume that most auto manufacturers are in operation to make a profit and that eventually the goal is to get back to profitability.
I just want to ask about this in terms of the corporate income tax rate here in Canada and the ability to maintain a manufacturing industry, that significant share we have, of course. We're going to hear from the CAW in a few minutes. We definitely have some skilled workers here in Canada who contribute very strongly to our ability to hold onto that manufacturing base.
How important is it to keep our tax base down as compared to that of other countries? As you know, we're shooting for a 2012 tax rate that would be the lowest in the G-7. How important is that for competitiveness here?
