All it allows is for companies and organizations to write off investments quicker than they would normally have to do.

And then at the end of those five years, the car is worth – On an accounting basis, nothing.

Tom, you're probably happy you're not Mark Kearney, but Kearney's in this very difficult place with a very uncooperative, to be polite, perhaps discombobulated, to be impolite partner in the U.S. How do you rate the way he's trying to manage Canadian strategy at the moment, and what do you see him prioritizing?

Tom CooperGUEST
A number of times we've spoken, I've said, look, I think he's the right man for the right time.

Tom CooperGUEST
I think the key thing is about being engaged and not just walking away saying, I don't want to talk to you anymore because we don't have the same power anymore.

Tom CooperGUEST
And the United States is weaponizing these tariffs and it's using it to basically get what it wants in terms of a renegotiated Kuzma.

Tim PowersHOST
How do you work through that market research, Tom, when you're trying to manage strategy in circumstances that are as chaotic as these?

Anything else on Deegs? Tom, you got anything on Deegs?

Tom CooperGUEST
I think that the way that the Lawrence's ride is very bouncy, flowy, tiptoe-y around, but Deegan and Coonan are so similar where they splash into the sand, especially this past weekend.

Tom CooperGUEST
The dichotomy there, the two different styles, it's fascinating to see them be close to the same speed because It's so different.

Tim PowersHOST
But what happens when credit agencies tell people we're more of a risk? What happens to our borrowing costs?

Tom CooperGUEST
They go up because investors like government debt because it's lower risk, but not all government debt is equal.

Tom CooperGUEST
And mostly, if I'm an investor rating agency or bond rating agency, I look at it and says, what is the probability of the government paying it back? Now, there's never been a case, I don't think, Tim, of a government in Canada defaulting on its debt.

Tom CooperGUEST
There has been internationally of that occurring, but there's always a case where a government may not pay back its debt because it doesn't have the ability to do that.

Tom CooperGUEST
Karen, you found Labrador, the risk is very low, but still there's different ways of rating debt, whether AAA or AA or single A, et cetera.

Tom CooperGUEST
And the concern of these rating agencies is that we have a decreasing aging population.
