I think it's important that you're keeping an eye on it. I appreciate that.
Mr. Porter, right now we are hearing that there's $500 billion of business money just sitting there. It's not being invested, and we have a situation in which the private sector has withdrawn.
From our standpoint, having public investment is critically important. I understand you were quoted just yesterday in The Globe and Mail and you said that suggestions by Mr. Harper for global austerity are the wrong medicine at this time. Would you like to expand on that a bit? Because to my mind I would tend to agree with you that it's time for this government to invest. It's not time for the government to withdraw if the business community has already withdrawn.
