Thank you.
I want to continue on that. We can play politics here around who's moving fast enough, who's not doing enough, who should do more, and the government needs to do what. It's a minority government; it's not a majority. We can't implement everything we'd like to because we have to work with our colleagues. Every once in a while we have to remind the opposition of that.
You raised a very good point, and that is the intense escalation. It's interesting, because the reason you're here is to talk about the issue around the dollar, and we spent very little time talking about that today. We spent a whole lot of time on recommendations on what we should do in terms of improving the individual sectors you represent. It's fascinating and it's helpful because we are also doing pre-budget consultations.
To return to the issue of the dollar, the intense escalation is not based on anything other than, I guess, speculation of investors. That happens and there's not much you can do about it. The fact is, when things happen this quickly, it's very, very difficult for any business, or government, for that matter, to react in a way that isn't just going to be reactionary, to try to put on a band-aid and fix it, but to try to be substantive in terms of looking forward in the long term.
You touched on the fact that the dollar escalated so quickly. Is it not fair to say that if we're going to move forward, we need to make sure we do what's right rather than just what seems to be urgent?
