That's perfect.
My question, in fact, pertains to opening procurement markets.
You are in quite a good position to understand the impact that greater access to these non-tariff barrier-free markets will have on companies and materials in Canada, for instance. We know that this will probably have an impact on employability. This will, for instance, lead to job loss.
We can also see, in appendix 1 of the Conservative government's 2009 budget, that an investment in infrastructure results in economic spin-offs that are five times greater. So every additional dollar invested represents $1.50 for the GDP.
In difficult economic times, we know how important it is to invest in municipal public infrastructure.
I would like to hear your comments on the impacts that this will have on municipalities, particularly in terms of job protection and the regulation of Canadian materials.
