I'm going to segue now from the issue of innovation to the issue of productivity. Currently when we compare ourselves to the United States, we seem to be doing everything better—social policy, economic policy, economic fundamentals, employment, job creation, debt-to-deficit ratios—but we still lag in productivity when we compare ourselves to the U.S. Why is that? How can we improve that? And is improving productivity in Canada an important area of policy focus?
