As economists, though, you make an effort to parse out some of these contributing factors, and there has been a consistent and strong correlation between the price of oil and the Canadian dollar over the last 25 years. The same can't be said for wheat or even for some of the metals--for copper, gold, etc.
The question we're looking at is.... You're familiar with the Dutch disease, in terms of the effect on other parts of the economy. You've been mostly describing the benefits. Those are easy to assign because we can look at revenues coming into government, or taxes paid, but there's also a counter-effect, which I'm sure you're aware of as an economist, in pricing the dollar higher and having some impact on the manufacturing value-added sectors in our economy. I'm talking about forestry, auto manufacturing, aerospace, etc.
Have you bothered to look into that impact on the Canadian economy as well and on the Alberta economy specifically?
