That's an interesting question.
First of all, I think we should be thankful as a country that we did the right thing, resolving our deficit problems back in the mid-1990s. What's really striking to me is the fact that not just the federal government but virtually everybody across the country got their act together. We got debt ratios under control, we paid down debt, and that's part of the reason Canada is in a special place, I would argue. We're actually able to provide more stimulus relative to our economy than almost everybody, except maybe the U.S. In Britain you're getting push-back now from the Bank of England, encouraging the government not to stimulate a second round, because they're worried about this talk of debt and the huge borrowing requirements that the British government has going to the market right now.
How do you respond to the current circumstances? Well, I think you start with a plan, and I see a plan. You have a plan that's going to roll forward. Clearly it will have to be adjusted and adapted as we go along. I don't think you react to every incident. Understand that growth could be much darker this year, and revenues will be impacted, and the deficit will be deeper. But the good news story, for me, is that as a country we can afford it.
I would be more challenging probably two years from now, when we come back and see growth restored, and then ask questions about whether the path to get back to balance is aggressive enough. But I'm going to save that for 18 months.
