Thank you once again for joining us.
I want to ask you to expand a bit. Foreign direct investment rose to $51.3 billion last year, which was a three-year high, the highest annual total since 2015. The inflows of about $16.5 billion in the final three months were the second-highest quarter that has happened since 2015.
The bulk of foreign direct investment last year was in non-energy sectors. As you talked about earlier in terms of the levelling off or stabilization of investment in particularly the oil sector, it appears that there is significant interest in investment outside that sector. Stats Canada stated that Canadian businesses are planning to increase by 2.5% their capital investments in 2019.
Can you talk maybe a little bit about what that means for growing areas of the economy, such as alternative sources of energy and the green economy, as we talk about electric vehicles and as we talk about the opportunities we have in the carbon-reduced economy that Canada is very engaged in?
