Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to note that Finance Canada said that it takes the IMF report that's been mentioned numerous times this meeting “with a grain of salt”.
When you look at a lot of the numbers over the past decade.... For example, over $1 trillion of foreign direct investment has left Canada, which means that for every dollar of investment in Canada, two dollars left. I think that when they look at that kind of a track record, that's why they're looking at that IMF report and saying that it's not quite so rosy.
That's having a substantive impact on Canadians, too. We're looking at some of the insolvency numbers. There's a higher rate of Canadians facing insolvency than there has been since 2009.
Are you seeing some of those trends and concerns in any of the work you're doing?
