We scrutinize it for the medium term and for the longer term. I might begin by mentioning a few points.
For 15 years now, Canada's average annual growth has been of approximately 3.3% in real terms. We are facing a demographic challenge. I believe that the Committee has studied this issue. During this period, Canadian growth has been of 3.3%. Two thirds of this growth were attributable to the increase in job opportunities. The last third was attributable to the rise in productivity. Because of the demographic challenge, we must do the reverse, in other words increase productivity by 2.2 to 3.3% per year. It is quite the challenge.
