Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank our guests for joining us this afternoon.
Mr. Page, Mr. Brison was shaking his head at everything you were saying, and I think one of the things you were saying is that we have to look at our fiscal outlook and, if we really want to get back to a balanced budget, look at cutting things. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Liberal Party brings forward in this budget process on what we're going to be cutting. I think he was, in cabinet, defending the Liberal spending scandal in the House, and I'm sure he understands the issue of cabinet confidence that you mentioned you're running into a bit of a problem with.
I have one question for you, and then I'm going to our economists who are here. I agree with you that we do have to be pretty tough going forward and we have to look at things. I'm assuming that the leadership from the budget office will be that if we're going to be making cuts to programs and so on, your office is going to be offering a reduction also, in this upcoming budget, that we can take advantage of.
