Thank you, Chair. Thank you, witnesses.
I'll first of all address Mr. Antunes. Stimulus is all the rage these days. It seems as though we're jamming everything you could possibly imagine into stimulus. At times, however, it seems a little like taking a bucket from the deep end of the pool and putting it into the shallow end of the pool. You have to wonder at the end of the day what you have, other than one enormous debt.
I'm particularly concerned about the flow of fiscal stimulus, because even if we rush the budget through, as the ministers want us to do, and it starts to move, and we do all the rest of the stuff, it will really, to be realistic, be this time next year before you actually see projects even getting going—and that's with the best of intentions all the way around. By that time, your projections are that the recession will be, if not over, close to over. So what would we have accomplished?
