As we heard from the EDC, they have basically been backing, in 2008...if I recall, it was way over $20 billion, in that year, of extractive industry activity--in that one year. If that were removed, as EDC indicated they wouldn't be able to work with this bill, and if CPP were also constrained, what impact would that have on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Vancouver Stock Exchange, and hence on economic activity in Canada?
