Thank you.
Let me start by saying that as we make investments in the future of our country, as we work to create good jobs for Canadians, we are absolutely focused on doing that in a responsible way. We have made a commitment to be fiscally responsible, and we know that we've followed through on that commitment by showing a track to a continued net debt-to-GDP situation that is positive. That will continue to be our focus.
We believe that the AAA credit rating we have is due to our very strong fiscal situation. We have the best balance sheet in the G7 countries. That's a positive. When you look at our approach to making investments, you find that we are, considering other countries that are in a similar situation, making fiscal investments that are actually having an outcome that's positive, so it is an approach that we know is consistent with fiscal responsibility.
We do continue to look at what the rating agencies say about Canada. I most recently met with Moody's in New York last week. It had a positive response, in my estimation—you can find it online—to our budget. I will tell you that the meeting was positive. I don't want to put words in its mouth; you can read its report. Its sense was that we are making investments that are having an impact while being fiscally responsible.
