To be very fair, I've been in this job for four years now, and I can tell you that for this government in particular, it's at the forefront of their minds too. It's the future of our children and our grandchildren. It's very important.
The subprime mortgage crisis obviously happened in the U.S. and is creating economic turmoil elsewhere. I was in Australia in January, and they've been hit very hard. The entire world has been hit hard. In fact Canada seems to be the only country right now that's producing jobs in net terms, 750,000 in the last two years, for instance.
Will that be taken into consideration by you in your job, the economic condition of the rest of the world and the economic condition of Canada?
