May I say something? I would just like to say that I do not think that the Minister of Finance would be authorized to act; that would be the Bank of Canada's role instead. As I said earlier, the current problem is that the Bank is not intervening at all in the exchange market. I think that is a problem in the current context, where we are seeing a great deal of volatility. I sincerely believe that something must be done in this regard, and this is essentially the Governor of the Bank of Canada's role. It is not really up to the Minister of Finance to take direct action, although he could give direction in this regard.
