Certainly.
I suppose the most convincing evidence on that is the strong consumer confidence in Canada. It is documented in the papers we've seen. Even in a time of some softening in the manufacturing sector, particularly in Quebec and Ontario, we see strong consumer confidence and very strong employment figures. We have, I think, virtually the highest level of percentage participation in the working economy in Canadian history now. I think it's 63% now in Canada.
As I say, there is strong consumer spending and strong consumer confidence; certainly the reduction of the GST plays some role there, and over the course of the mandate, as I indicated earlier, we intend to fulfill our commitment to reduce it the additional percentage point.
