With respect, there is an issue here and you aren't responding to it. I think it's important to have intellectual honesty in this conversation.

I'm asking you about GDP per capita. Canada's population has swelled in recent years. It has masked our GDP per capita, which is per individual. Each Canadian is getting poorer. They're getting poorer, Minister. This is an issue.

I'm asking you again for just the number. What was the GDP per capita in the first quarter, the second quarter or the third quarter?
