Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back. It's always a pleasure to have you both here at committee.
In answer to an earlier question, you mentioned GDP over the next couple of quarters and it being quite close to potential negative territory. I'm curious. Canada is a country rich in natural resources, a sector that has been quite strong given commodity prices. If it weren't for the natural resource sector, would we almost certainly be in negative territory over the next few quarters?
