I do think that Coyne makes a good point about access to capital. Canadians are working, but the investment capital isn’t here to the same extent. I also do think part of that is policy driven because we’re throttling some investment in the energy and resource sector. That could be both intentional with restrictive policies, but it’s also unintentional because of the uncertainty factor that has crept in.
