Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Ms. Bittman, on the question of job creation, you started by saying that job creation in Canada should not begin with job losses.You say that with the cuts the government has put forward, we will lose about 40,000 positions in the private sector, and that's on top of the 19,200 positions in the public sector.
Also, with respect to the cuts that were made, you mentioned that there are some issues that will have an effect on safety in terms of regulating bodies. For instance, you talked about food safety, environmental assessment, and safe transportation infrastructure. Can you tell us a bit more about the impact of those cuts?
