I would reiterate that the blanket national policy just doesn't work. I think it's really important to consider, when making decisions, what the unintended consequences are and who they impact. It might seem like only a few jobs, but when I look at my builders, I've had seven major companies go out of business this year. One builder had 60 years in a family business. As far as the impact that had on the community goes, we're talking at least 50 to 60 people out of work in one very small community in Nova Scotia. When you look at all of these impacts and how they will flow downhill, I think it's really important to consider not just the bigger markets but also the little markets and how they add up to a larger number overall.
Thank you for the chance to speak.
