Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously, the one thing that's always constant is change. In this world today, I don't think any of us have ever seen the changes taking place, either in markets, or economic policy, or the actual disastrous happenings on a global scale—at least certainly not in my time. But how do we react, and in what timeframe do we react?
Of course, many people call for major budgetary initiatives weekly and monthly. Quite honestly, I think we all recognize that's not feasible and doable. However, governments do have to react, and they can't always wait until after the fact. We can't now do a once-a-year budget when we're into situations that are so dramatically changing.
Should your information and monetary policy reports be done weekly, monthly, or quarterly? Consequently, for major budget initiatives and/or larger fiscal policy statements, what framework would you suggest for the government?
