Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Being the local boy here doesn't give me any more time, so I'm going to move very quickly.
I could ask you all questions. I'm going to start with Fred, and then go to Suzanne, and then to Rob McKelvie. Rob has, by the way, for when you guys are back here the next time, the best fish and chips in town at a place called “McKelvies” down the road, with real malt vinegar.
Fred, you talked about the economy in Halifax, and it's done very well. One of the factors that hasn't contributed much is the declining federal presence. We were hit hard by program review some ten years ago, and while other parts of Canada--certainly Ottawa--have rebuilt their federal presence in terms of human resources, we haven't. Could you comment on that?
