Thank you very much.
Valerie Payn, whether one agrees or disagrees with all the issues of the chamber of commerce, it has been one of the most successful advocacy groups here in Nova Scotia, not just on finance issues but on a whole host of issues. I think that's important.
I want to ask you about something I've discussed with the Greater Halifax Partnership folks, with whom you have a close relationship, and that's program review in the 1990s. I raise this as a Liberal and a supporter of program review in the 1990s. It hit this area very hard in terms of the reduced federal presence, of people working for the federal government in this area. Many other parts of the country have had that difference made up over the years. Ottawa certainly has, but that's not the case in Halifax. We still lack. I think Halifax was the area most hurt by the program review of the 1990s.
Are you familiar with that? Would you agree with that? Would you have any comment on that?
