Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would also like to thank Ms. Dawson, Ms. Benoit and Ms. Robinson-Dalpé. I find you have accomplished a remarkable amount of work since you arrived. Of course, this happened at a distance, you yourselves said that it was a huge job to consolidate and reorganize the office since you received your mandate.
My first question is on the budget and on the budget process. You said—and this is the rule, of course—that you present your budget to the Speaker and not to the Treasury Board Secretariat. Does the Speaker conduct a critical analysis of the budget?
