Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to come back to the fight against inflation. Canada's economy is not homogenous. It is diversified and economic conditions in Quebec's industrial sector are different from conditions in Alberta or the West. In many cases, we are currently experiencing an overheating of the economy, major expansion, a high inflation rate, rising rental and commodities costs, etc. Everything is going through the roof, except in Quebec, where conditions are quite the opposite. Many sectors, including the manufacturing sector, are facing major problems in terms of growth.
Bearing this in mind, by definition, any anti-inflation policy will necessarily benefit, and be more useful, to Alberta and other provinces in the West which are facing problems with inflation, than it will be to provinces like Quebec or even Ontario, where these problems don't really exist.
In developing your anti-inflation monetary policy, how do you reconcile these two realities, these two different economic structures, so that everybody fairs well?
