In terms of studies, I would be careful with that, because there are lots of studies. There are people saying if we have a high dollar, we should have a lot of investment in machinery and equipment. Well, that's only part of the story, because what's really driving investment, any investment, particularly in machinery and equipment, is cash flow.
You're going to see a lot of investment, and I'm actually expecting more investment now that we have a bit of a lower dollar and companies have better balance sheets. That's pretty much the better context for investment in machinery and equipment.
Why is it important to grow businesses? As I said, manufacturing is about 10% of our economy, but it's 63% of our exports. It's important to export because it brings foreign money into the country. We all agree we need to export more, but we can export only as much as we produce. If we don't produce more, we cannot export more. That's my point here. If you have a small food processor in your riding that can sell that much every month, and then you ask what if a billion people in China could buy your tomato soup, well, if they want to buy it, you need to produce it. That's my point. If you don't grow those businesses, we're not going to produce more. We're not going to export more. We're going to be stuck at a low economic growth level. It's as simple as that.
