Thank you very much.
Yes, indeed, there are some who have benefited. Obviously people whose business model includes a great number of imports have benefited. Canadian exporters have been hit hard in many cases. But there are also critics who would say that Canadian businesses have long been hiding behind the Canadian dollar, especially as it relates to our productivity levels, which are traditionally way behind those of the United States. We've begun behind them, and our growth has lagged behind them year after year.
It seems to me that this might be an opportunity for the federal government, kind of like the perfect storm. If the need for productivity improvement is there and the dollar is strengthening, a lot that has to do with improving productivity includes upgrading capital, technology, and so on, a lot of which is purchased from outside our own country to do that, and this might be a good time to somehow incent Canadian business, maybe through the tax system, to spend more on improving their productivity.
