I am sure he realizes that productivity is an essential element to increasing our real incomes in the country.</p>\n<p>From 1973 on, for about 20 years, we had declining productivity throughout the western world and that is why real incomes went down.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless the hon. member's question is to the point. That is why there is so much effort on this side of the House to increase Canadian skills, to increase Canada's involvement in the newer economy, to make sure that Canada is not only toiling in those industries where other countries are more competitive because of lower standards of living but that we are the most modern economy possible to create.</p>",
