However, during that same period the Australian dollar has gone down by 25 per cent, the Euro has gone down by 12 per cent, the U.K. pound has gone down by 12 per cent, the French franc has gone down by 12 per cent, the German Deutsch mark has gone down by 12 per cent, and the Japanese yen has gone down by 16 per cent. In relative terms, the Canadian dollar is holding up well. I believe it reflects that our economy is also doing well.
Or, durant la même période, le dollar australien a perdu 25 p. 100 de sa valeur, l'euro 12 p. 100, la livre britannique 12 p. 100, le franc français 12 p. 100, le mark allemand 12 p. 100 également et le yen japonais 16 p. 100. Relativement parlant, le dollar canadien tient très bien le coup, et je crois que cela est dû à la très bonne performance de notre économie.
