We are in an economic crisis, and so is the world. We have made commitments to our colleagues in the G20 that we will do this. Canada keeps its commitments. We are taking every measure possible within the Government of Canada to expedite delivery of the various forms of stimuli. That includes moving forward with more expedited processes within government itself, within Treasury Board, within the machinery of government items. That includes seeking that this bill be expedited, of course, because of the spending that's in this bill and creating a new vote so that we can get more money out the door in advance of supplementary estimates.
It will bore a lot of Canadians if we get into talking about estimates, and I won't get into it, but you've been here a number of years and you know that the estimates process can take a lot of time. So we're trying to move forward, I hope, in an intelligent way to be both responsive in terms of getting the money out the door to the benefit of Canadians and responsible. The President of the Treasury Board and I have met with the Auditor General, and we talked today about meeting with the parliamentary budget officer as well, to make sure they're fully informed about what we're trying to accomplish here for Canadians--not to act in an irresponsible manner, of course, but that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures for the benefit of our country.
