Thank you.
I know at least two witnesses have to leave sharply at one o'clock.
We've been having this debate about austerity and being in a period of stimulus and now being in a period of austerity, and I just wanted to clarify, so I pulled up the budget we passed in June. We have a temporary hiring credit. We have extension of the work-sharing program. We have extension of the accelerated capital cost allowance for the manufacturing sector. We have extension of the best 14 weeks in working for EI. We have enhancing the guaranteed income supplement. We have more money for health care workers in the rural areas. We have more money for the industrial research assistance program, more money for Canada excellence research chairs, more money for the federal granting councils. We have 6% increases for health care transfers to the provinces and 3% for education and social assistance for the provinces.
I know two of you are recommending more stimulus. Glen, I know that you are recommending that we stay along the path. But to the other two of you, is this austerity--6%, 3% increases, more money for R and D, more money for the manufacturing sector? Is this austerity?
