Absolutely. We talk about that and you can see that in the productivity numbers. There are compelling documents and reports. One is through the National Bank of Canada economic strategy and data reports. The title is “The industrial implosion”, and it clearly identifies investments, capital and growth in the United States versus Canada. I'll just hold it up quickly, but I'm sure it can be supplied. On this chart, the blue line represents the United States and its investment strategy on equipment and capital. You can see the red line for Canada over the last 10 or 15 years.
When I spoke earlier, a question was asked about high input costs, which means wages. With respect to the immigration policy issue, I'll say that we tried to hire some engineers and program managers during growth in Canada, and all of them coming into our facility wanted $80,000 to $100,000 to start. They referenced the high living expenses in Toronto, for instance. From car insurance costs to rental costs and living costs, we hear every reason why, as an owner and an entrepreneur, I need to be burdened with all these costs in order to compete. You're competing against companies in Georgia that are paying $16 to $17 for general labour and are paying their program management and engineering teams an average wage of $70,000 to $80,000 U.S. Compare that to Mexico at $65,000 U.S., and then you're looking at people in Canada wanting $130,000. This makes us completely uncompetitive.
