My heavens, I thought I would get one question in. Thank you, Mr Chair.
Again, thank you to colleagues for allowing me a question.
I also want to add my thanks to you, Governor Poloz, and to your senior deputy governor, Carolyn Wilkins. I don't think any Canadian would doubt that we're being extremely well served by your approach to stabilization of our markets and making sure we get through this.
I was drawn to your analogy about looking at Canada as a human being and looking at our immunity, our physical strength, going into this, and your points that we were at full employment when this hit and that our debt-to-GDP ratio was pretty healthy at the federal level.
In other countries around the world, the financial risks are again likely felt just like a human being. There are a lot of economies out there that don't have our internal resilience and don't have the robust balance sheets that Canada has. As COVID spreads and makes its way around the world, we haven't yet seen the continent of Africa with the kinds of.... There could be very bad effects of COVID-19 that we haven't seen yet in many economies around the world. How is the Bank of Canada working in that international context to coordinate with others, as I assume you are, to support more vulnerable countries to enable them to maintain their market confidence and to buffer the risks of financial stability in that global context?
