Yes, okay, you hit the nail on the head for me there: pickup trucks down, lumber sales down, and it all comes back to U.S. housing, which is not a problem that's been created out of Canada.
Last year, when I went to the Manufacturing Hall of Fame dinner held in Windsor, Frank and Linda Hasenfratz of Linamar were there. When Frank got up and spoke at the podium, he said specifically that they're not looking for a government bailout of industry. What he said he wanted was a 16% federal government corporate tax rate. Of course, we've indicated that we're going to a 15% corporate tax rate.
You mentioned how Canada is competing on a global basis now for investment. We have to compete globally for automotive production and for parts production as well. It seems that the approach toward setting the proper environment for business to succeed is critically important. You talked about poor productivity in some of the plants that we lost. That was perhaps encouraged by our former high taxation policies, and also the low dollar, which prevented investment into this type of capital.
Very broadly, is setting the proper environment for business, the proper environment to attract investment, the right direction for Canada to go in?
