But I am delighted the minister is here.
Question number one concerns my understanding that the parliamentary budget officer is setting up a process by which to evaluate infrastructure spending, and other things, for the quarterly accountability reports. The first question is whether you intend to cooperate fully with his office on that issue.
Second, depending on how you measure it, my understanding is that you're hoping to get about three to five times as much money out the door next year for infrastructure as you actually got out the door in the last couple of years. Given the less than splendid record in this area, would you be planning to increase your staff in some commensurate way to deal with the extra workload to get that money out the door? If so, by how much will your staff be going up?
