As you know, we accelerated this second point in the GST to January 1, 2008. That again was entirely intentional. It was apparent to us that we needed to create a significant financial stimulus to the Canadian economy for this year. The Americans are behind us in doing that. We were ahead of the curve on that.
The confidence that consumers are showing in the Canadian economy is good. We expect it to continue. It helps when people get larger tax rebates. It helps with the GST reduction.
As you know--I think you know--the car dealers association folks were here yesterday, car dealers from across Canada, reporting good sales. January and February looked pretty good, and March apparently too. There's a revised prediction about total auto production for this year, which is pretty good. This is encouraging for the Canadian economy. Governments don't make cars, but governments can help stimulate consumer demand by letting people keep more of their own money, which we're doing.
