I'll just get to the questions, because I have a number of them.
I think that agreements like Beacon were exceptional—which I reference because it was in my neck of the woods—and extremely helpful.
I'm interested in two particular aspects. To Mr. Murnigham and also Mr. Kennedy, what are the nature of those kinds of relationships, investments, or strategic partnerships, and the extent to which they've been able to help in ensuring Canada remains competitive and is successful, as it pertains specifically to auto manufacturing?
Secondly, with respect to the dollar, whether or not it would be.... We've heard from a lot of individuals who've stated that it's really the speed at which the dollar has appreciated, not so much the height of the dollar. I can see doing more about the speed than I can about the ultimate level of the dollar, because trying to set your currency at a particular level and keep it there is a futile exercise. You can perhaps do some measures to abate the speed at which it increases or to slow the decline.
So I'd just like your comments on those two factors.
