No, I am certainly not going to do that, because we still may want to ask about the direction we are taking. You are less concerned by that question, but we may want to discuss the government's wrong-headed view of the economy in general. Our economy is less and less stable, and here we are with Canada's economic dog on a very short leash again, if I may put it that way. Another pull on the collar and small businesses will have a lot of difficulty getting funding.
That is still a concern, one way or the other. So even if this is good news, we might wonder if there is not a way to make up for the skittishness of the banks.
Let me go back to tourism, since it is an area that particularly interests me. Quebec City is a major tourist destination. Small tourism-related businesses have a terrible time getting banks to lend them money, simply because they have very little in collateral to offer.
Forgive me for not really getting to a question.
Something else infuriates me. The latest study that Industry Canada published on the matter specifically said the criteria for getting financing had become stricter. Unfortunately the study in question was terminated and there will really be no way to follow it up. Is that true or am I mistaken?
