I was deeply involved in the Toyota investments coming to Canada. I remember the officials there saying, “Do you understand why the U.S. south has to provide the incentives they do when we go down there?” Why? “It's because they can't compete with Ontario.”
Don't forget that. Ontario is one heck of a spot in which to manufacture vehicles, and these states in the U.S. south really struggle with that.
The other thing is that the auto assembler sector in the U.S. south is actually declining in its nature. They had two very major plant closings. Ford closed a major plant down there last year, and General Motors is closing a plant down there this year. It's going to knock probably a quarter of their production base out. Both of those plants were originally subsidized; both of those plants ultimately didn't survive. These subsidies need to be longer term, and they tend not to be, so how do you manage to get sustainable development?
You go through all your infrastructure costs, your human resource costs, your light, heat, water, and so on, and Ontario is very competitive and we're doing quite well with that.
