No, but in most advanced industrialized countries, they look at a balance, and I would suggest to you that our balance is out of whack—that in fact there's got to be a responsibility on the part of the corporate sector and a reasonable share. We've dropped to less than $27 billion out of a government budget of $220 billion. Is that fair? Should it all be on the shoulders of Canadians, which in fact means that individual Canadians get more of a burden because the government has to cut back, since as John McCallum keeps saying, the cupboard is bare and the pie is limited?
