You made the statement that unless the economy works well above its potential, we would have issues related to deficits and the rest of it. I'm wondering what you would define as the economy's current potential and what we might be able to do as government, as parliamentarians, to try to allow that potential to be larger than what it currently is--so essentially support productivity in this country--and what the worst things that we could do as parliamentarians would be. I am just putting this out there. You are an economist, and of course if you get five different economists, you get five different opinions. However, certainly this committee is interested in this stuff, because of course this is all related to future budgets and possible deficits of government, and we want to get our hands on this. I know this is diverse and divergent stuff, but I'm wondering if you could comment on that as well.
