First, I have to be careful with that question because it is not within our mandate to offer the government official advice on the budget.
Second, the budgetary measures that Canada and the United States have taken are one of the factors in the Canadian recovery. Those measures will have increasing impact on our economy by the end of the year, especially in 2010 and especially in the United States.
As a result of the deep recession in Canada and internationally, it is important to consider measures that could enhance the productivity of our economy, as we've just discussed with Mr. Wallace. I'm talking about measures such as those contained in the last federal budget and a number of federal budgets that will be able to improve our economy's infrastructure and have a major impact on the global economy and productivity, as well as on commodities prices.
