I would just say a few things very briefly. The Canadian economy is, of course, a living and breathing entity, so as I commend, first and foremost, our bank regulators and officials at the Bank of Canada, as well as those in our supervisory organizations that oversee financial institutions—we obviously can be very thankful that we're not here today talking about taxpayer dollars that need to go to recapitalize banks and financial institutions. There are also, obviously, the strong financial underpinnings of our economy. We are open to foreign direct investment, which from the very inception of our country has been part of our development. I would point to strong framework legislation on the part of the government, our dynamic labour markets and educational institutions, and a labour force that is able to move to opportunities and retrain itself. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates of the advanced economies. We should be very pleased about that.
We should also, of course, look to our business leaders who have grown and developed Canadian firms. As Mr. Stanford pointed out, some of the most successful firms in Canada are, of course, multinationals. This is an important part of our dynamic economy, but I'd commend to this committee that we can't rest on our laurels. Canada is a relatively small economy in the global context and we must maintain, I would argue, not just one of the best regimes in the world, but the best. Why not want to be the best environment in which to do business? I would say that considerations such as the ones you have in front of you today are incredibly important to continuing our economic health, which of course ultimately leads to jobs for Canadians and to prosperity.
