These are highly political choices, and you say so yourself. Policy measures are needed in the budget.
But, in terms of policy measures, we could have looked at all the army expenditures, for example. We might have agreed that we don't need all the army expenditures or that we should raise corporate taxes. We might have also agreed that we should raise taxes because Canada’s fiscal capacity is not used to its fullest. However, from there to zeroing in on this program, there is a difference. You seem to agree with us.
I also have another question about this. On page 2, when you refer to the challenges of the International Monetary Fund—and you are doing a good job representing its view—you say that the current budget process and the political climate give too little weight to this issue. What do you mean by “political climate”?
You are saying that the political climate prevents us from giving enough weight to this issue. At the moment, where have you seen the political climate preventing us from discussing the issue? It is on page 2.
