There's not a lot you can do with small government programs to change the trajectory of the Canadian economy. As I said in my earlier response, there's going to be resource development, megaprojects, mining, and forestry. What we can do most of all, I think, is put in place basic education. We do have some support programs, and the government committed in the 2008 budget to taking the economic development programs, which are dusty old things from the 1980s, and putting in place a new economic development framework. That will be done by the government this calendar year.
