I'll take the first one.
First of all, the short answer to that is that no levers are in the purview of the Bank of Canada, so your next question is, why do we even talk about productivity? The reason we talk about productivity is that it's a key determinant in how fast the economy can grow without building inflationary pressure. We spend a lot of time trying to understand what's driving productivity and where it's likely to go, because that determines how much the economy can grow without inflation. In this report, as we outlined, we revised our outlook for potential output, and a key element of that is productivity. It's not the only thing; it depends on other things like the growth of your labour force.
You know, key levers is a huge topic, but we've been talking about these things for a long time, particularly in the break glass speech that the senior deputy governor gave. If you look historically at what drives productivity, investment is key. Obviously, if workers have better equipment and better technologies, they're more productive.
