Thank you.
I want to shift gears just momentarily. I'm going to give you some time to talk about this.
Your predecessor, and of course we're speaking of the late Jim Flaherty, spoke once at a meeting that a number of us were part of. He spoke of that time in 2008-2009, when the world was at a brink. You mentioned in your remarks how we expect to see this government, to see this budget, the next budget, at a surplus position. We managed to do that without quantitative easing. We managed to do that without driving ourselves further into debt, other than the debt that was incurred because of the bill in Canada, which was part of our strategy.
I'm wondering if you could just tell this committee how that is going to affect future generations and specifically this country in terms of perhaps investment from other countries' looking at us as a solid economy and our banks as places where there seems to be stability in a world where that's increasingly becoming less and less the case.
