Thank you.
First, you're right. It is absolutely preferable right now to have a certain degree of stability. With our conditional commitment, I believe we have provided that in part. However, it is a conditional commitment, and conditions are inflationary prospects for Canada. That's clear.
Second, with regard to inflationary tendencies in the United States and the world, I would like to emphasize that there are currently disinflationary pressures at work in the world. The major difference between today and the United States in the 1960s—the period of the Vietnam War and so on—is that global growth is very weak. It will probably be negative in 2009 and, in 2010, according to the Bank of Canada, it will be 2.2% internationally. The potential global growth rate is probably about 3.5%. So there is a gap that will continue to increase next year. Disinflationary pressures could persist for some time.
