Those are good and legitimate questions, and I would simply observe that the manufacturing sector, not just in Quebec but indeed in many parts of Canada and throughout North America and other major industrial countries, is going through some pretty tough times. You can trace the causes to a number of things: high energy prices have been a factor; exchange rate issues have been a factor. You can get into all kinds of causal issues. The reality is that those jobs are important. Manufacturing is important, I believe, and for precisely the reason that you point out: a lot of the well-paying, high-paying jobs in smaller communities are fundamentally manufacturing jobs, and you can't substitute tourism for manufacturing because the jobs are not qualitatively the same.
But I think if you look at what the government is doing in terms of trade policy, we're certainly looking at where, if there's a need to intervene in terms of trade actions, we're responsive when industries bring cases to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. The accelerated capital cost allowance in the budget, I think, is going to be of fundamental significance and importance to the manufacturing sector.
In my opinion, a combination of investment in technology and upgrading of people's skills and human capital is going to be where manufacturing will find its niche and its salvation going forward, and I think the government is doing a pretty good job of putting investments into science and technology and into training and skills upgrading.
