I think you raise a good point. One of the challenges in defining strategies and policies to deal with some of these challenges is having the appropriate data to understand what's really happening, not just in manufacturing but also in the services sector--to understand where the growth is and where the need is across the country. There are different areas of competitive advantage between British Columbia and Alberta, and right across the country. There are different industries and different service needs. Because service has often been a bit overlooked, I'm not sure we have the data necessary available to make those really good decisions on how we can answer some of those questions.
