I have one last question.

Businesses and individuals will benefit from tax breaks totalling $200 billion over five years. Furthermore, $100 billion has been invested in Canada, in addition to the funding under the Economic Action Plan. In terms of stimulus initiatives, have we done more or less than our American counterparts? Are we talking about a ratio of two to one, or of three to one?
