Just to reiterate a bit of what you said there as well, I mentioned earlier that GDP per capita was over $600 per worker per hour. The Canadian average is, I believe, just over $50, so it's more than 10 times that.
Productivity, of course, is the ability of a country to deliver services and to make goods. That's the real value. We can print money, but that's just artificial and fake and results in exactly where we are today.
Is it a fair summary—and please disagree—that transition, especially if not done eloquently and if we're focused on reducing the supply as opposed to managing the demand, stands likely to make Canada a poorer nation?
