On the regional aspects and our strengths, I'm probably going to run out of time, so let me focus on a positive note. Let's talk about a few strengths.
We talked about some of them. I think we have a very well-educated labour force in this country. We have among the highest rates of post-secondary education in the world. That is a real strength of the country.
The other thing I would say is that international investors are looking to diversify their investments. A lot of money has been flowing into the United States. International investors are looking to diversify. Canada looks pretty good, when they're looking at us with the rule of law, a well-diversified economy, natural resources, a solid manufacturing sector and a vibrant services sector.
One thing we haven't talked about is that when we travel and hear from international investors, we hear that the length of time for regulatory approvals is long. That can be a barrier to international investment. These regulatory approvals are there for good reasons; they're well-intended. Nonetheless, where we can streamline them and make them more predictable, I think we could benefit more from our relatively good international standing in terms of international investment.
