Certainly we will be reviewing it in the short term. We'll be starting deliberations later this week on our next policy rate decision. That decision happens next Wednesday. We will be deliberating on that in the near term.
Just to back up to your other questions, yes, the speech that my colleague gave on youth unemployment did cite that as a concern in the economy. It's not unusual when you see an economic downturn or a slow labour market like we're seeing right now, with some of the headwinds that the economy is facing.
Youth are usually one of the first groups of people hit by a tough labour market. They're trying to get their first job. Employers are pulling back on hiring. They put a high premium on experience, so they maybe won't hire as many new employees. It's not unusual to see youth unemployment being higher than the overall rate of unemployment, but it is a concern. We are watching it.
As I said, one point that my colleague made in his speech is that we need to be thinking about whether or not our education programs are setting our youth up for the jobs that are available in our economy. Particularly when our economy is going through a bit of a structural shift, those types of jobs are going to change, and we want to make sure we're preparing a labour market both for the sake of the economy and for the sake of the youth who are going to be looking for jobs.
