Thank you.
Mr. Simonsen, we had witnesses in our first hearings in Ottawa, the Conference Board of Canada and others, and they talked about the level of indebtedness of Canadians, combined with the business community holding about $500 billion back because they have to protect themselves in case the banks seize up on them, as they did a couple of years ago.
According to FCM, we have an infrastructure deficit of about $130 billion. The NDP had proposed, in its election platform, the greening of Canadian homes and buildings. You mentioned the stock being in terrible shape, with 81% of it from before 1986. Our belief is it's time for the government to do some strategic investment. In fact their deficit target should be delayed at least one year to start instituting some of this movement. What are your thoughts on that?
