I wonder if you would have any comments on how those kinds of macro fiscal policies impact on things like the dollar and Canada's overall resilience when it's faced with these kinds of adjustments that in many cases are outside of the realm of our ability to control things like our exchange rate relative to the U.S.</p>",

Pourriez-vous nous parler des effets de ce genre de macropolitique fiscale sur des aspects tels que la monnaie et la r\u00e9silience de l'\u00e9conomie canadienne, lorsqu'elle doit s'adapter \u00e0 des facteurs qui souvent \u00e9chappent \u00e0 notre contr\u00f4le, tels que la valeur de notre monnaie par rapport au dollar am\u00e9ricain.</p>"
