Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First I would like to say hello to Mr. Page and his colleagues.
I want to thank you for the work you are doing. In a way, you guarantee the government's actions with respect to Parliament. It is an important job.
In your presentation, you say that “the government and Parliament have moved in a timely fashion to approve budget measures.” You also conclude that the recovery plan measures have not really influenced economic performance, given the various steps that have to be taken before contracts can be made.
Don't you think it would have been more appropriate to implement those measures in November 2008 rather than January 2009? Do you understand the question?
