We had BDC here this week, and the budget says that some $8 billion is authorized to flow in credit through BDC and EDC. At the time I said that a number of people in the business community had expressed concern that nothing much was happening and there was little sense of urgency in this money getting out of the door. I tried to get BDC to give us some idea of how long it would take to get the $8 billion out the door. I didn't really get anywhere.
I don't expect you to criticize BDC or comment directly, but would you agree, given the overall credit situation in Canada, that there is a degree of urgency for funding that was allocated in the budget to move expeditiously? If you are saying the recovery's going to be under way in 2010, then surely the money is needed in 2009, and therefore it's not business as usual. There should be a sense of urgency by both BDC and EDC to actually use the money they have been allocated.
