Thank you, Chair.
We had the Department of Finance officials here last time. Basically, what happens when the officials come here—and I'm not saying it's you, necessarily—is that these kinds of initiatives usually get nickel-and-dimed to death. There's this little niggling problem, this and that. Because it doesn't quite fit with existing programs, the bureaucracy, by and large, takes either a very neutral or dim view. I see little enthusiasm for this initiative.
The problem is that heritage conservation is woefully inadequate in this country, and we must have some method. Largely, when it comes to the analysis, it's always, “Well, maybe not.” It's kind of frustrating for those of us who are politicians when we see heritage conservation getting short shrift right across the country.
Your analysis was basically only half an analysis. It wasn't in your terms of reference to look at the economic impact of these kinds of things. Apart from that reference to Michigan, did you do any analysis of the economic impact of this kind of expenditure?
