Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to talk a little bit about the longer term. We talk a lot about shovel-ready projects and the need for stimulus right now because of the global economic crisis. You wouldn't know it from question period if you watch it every day, but there are a lot of commentators talking about how relatively strong Canada is. Canada is kind of the envy of a lot of countries in terms of our position going forward. The recession will be felt less deeply here and we should come out sooner and stronger than other countries. Commentators like the IMF and the OECD and Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and The Telegraph have all commented on Canada's relative strength. Maybe you could talk about initiatives that we've put forward, particularly in the industry portfolio, that are creating the conditions for that strength moving forward in the long term.
