As I mentioned, I think the general feeling is that the action plan was successful. There were a number of reasons for that. I mentioned the size of it. That was one of them. Timeliness was another. It was rolled out very efficiently and quickly over a two-year period when it was needed most.
I think the fact that it was targeted also helped. It was targeted at areas that had what we economists refer to as relatively high multipliers, which meant that for every dollar you spent, you got an extra boost in terms of economic activity. So things like infrastructure spending, skills training on the EI side, and a number of measures were part of the program, and I think, as I said, they were targeted effectively.
The fact that it was temporary meant that, as I said, the stimulus wound down at the right time. It wasn't in place when the economy started to pick up, so it would have a pro-cyclical impact on the economy, and also, because it was temporary, it meant that our fiscal position didn't get too far removed from the low-debt position that we had going into the crisis.
I think those were the factors that contributed to the success of the program.
