That's agreeable, Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses as well.
Let me ask you, to start with, about the $4 million that's been set aside in the estimates for spending on advertising for the budget upcoming, which basically has to be spent between March 22, when the budget is delivered, and March 31, which of course is the fiscal year-end.
You're telling us that it hasn't been pre-tested at all, yet of course Government of Canada policy requires pre-testing of all major advertising campaigns. You can understand why it's a little hard to believe that there aren't advertisements in the can already for this. But if not, then when will you pre-test those ads if they aren't even going to be designed until after the budget is tabled?
I'll start with that.
