I'm here to answer questions directly, so I'm going to answer you.

I agree with you that a soft landing is very important for Canada and for Canadians. Since the COVID‑19 pandemic, our reality has been, one, to avoid a recession, two, to control global inflation and, three, to tackle the high policy rate. Those three cycles are now over. That's good news.

I'm very glad you highlighted the importance of a soft landing for Canada.
