As my colleague Cliff said a little earlier, during the 1990s, it was essentially the manufacturing sector and net exports that drove all of the country's growth. We now have more balanced growth, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not saying it's a good thing to lose jobs, but I believe we have to look at matters over the medium term.
Our experience in Quebec and Canada is not that different from what is happening in the OECD countries as a whole. Employment in the manufacturing sector is tending downward, and production as a percentage of gross domestic product is also tending to decline in those countries as a whole. That doesn't mean that the government should intervene immediately.
