In my opinion, it is very difficult for Canada to perform differently than the United States. The United States has entered into a period of significant economic weakness which has a big impact on the Canadian economy. However, Canada's fundamentals are certainly stronger than those of the U.S.
Those fundamentals will help us, going into this recession, so we can support Canadians in a much better way than the Americans are perhaps best positioned to support them. But when one looks at the performance of the Canadian versus the American economy over the long run of a 30-year or 40-year period, we've basically followed similar cyclical patterns. We've had periods of time when our economy is a little weaker or a little stronger, but virtually the same cycles.
If there are measures that need to be considered or implemented in a timely context because the American economy looks weaker, or it appears to be performing weaker, measures that we need to implement, then again it underscores the need for almost monthly or quarterly reporting.
