I would say first of all that we all acknowledge that what we've been through has been not a pleasant experience for all Canadians and that young Canadians in particular have borne, as you suggest, more of the cost. My personal belief is that the reason for this is that the vast majority of brand new jobs are actually created out of thin air. By that, I mean by brand new companies. Young companies that are getting going, that are in new technology spaces, or clean tech, or those kinds of things, generate the lion's share of brand new employment. Existing companies also create new jobs as they grow, but the big spurts of growth come from brand new companies. From 2008 to 2012, given the conditions that we were experiencing, there was no net increase in the population of companies in Canada; however, that population in 2013 has begun to grow again.
