Thank you, Mr. Leitão.
My colleagues have kindly let me take some time to ask questions, so I will do that.
I also want to begin with gratitude. In your opening remarks and throughout this conversation, you've spoken about the many challenges that our country is facing that are, quite simply, beyond our control. I recognize that for many people in leadership positions right now, we're facing a lot of challenges, and so I thank you for the work you're doing to try to balance them for Canadians.
I want to expand a little bit on the question by my colleague, Mr. Turnbull. Mr. McLean and I were actually at the IMF and the World Bank a couple of weeks ago for their spring meetings, and one of the things they talked about that is really important right now—and you mentioned it—is for governments to respond with short-term and targeted measures, as opposed to long-term structural changes. I'm wondering why this, from the bank's perspective, is important and how this impacts the decisions you might be making when it comes to interest rates.
