I'd like to thank Ms. Wilkins for correcting me. The measures were not, in fact, intended to cool the housing market, but, rather, to change the composition. The goal was to foster a more resilient mortgage environment, in response to externally motivated economic changes, to ensure people could cope with problems tied to changes in the economy. That brings me to what may be my last question, depending on the answer.
You talked about keeping the interest rate at 2%.
How would a rate increase affect Canada's economic growth?
Would that impact be spread evenly across the country, or would it be felt more in certain regions?
