Okay, but I don't think you deny that you have the authority, should you desire to use it, to extend that freeze for one more year. Then we would have less abrupt increases in payroll taxes, and that presumably would be helpful for employment.
I'll come to my third question, and probably my last.
We had the Governor of the Bank of Canada here this morning, and he confirmed the factual statement that in the second quarter of 2009, three G-7 countries had positive growth. Those were France, Germany, and Japan. Canada, among the G-7 countries, not only had negative growth, but the most negative growth among the remaining four countries.
So I asked Mr. Carney, how can you possibly say that, out of the G-7, Canada will lead the way out of recession in the G-7 when three countries have already factually escaped from recession and at the same time Canada remains in recession. It's a fact, and I don't think it can be denied, that the leaders of the G-7 to get out of recession are France, Germany, and Japan, because they have already done so.
So how can you continually repeat this idea that Canada will lead the G-7 out of recession when three of the G-7 countries have already done so and Canada has not?
