Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you and congratulations as well.
On the Finance Canada website, it says:
This has been an extremely thorough process as we sought the best candidates from around the world.
That's from Mr. Flaherty.
Reading that, you must be quite honoured to be one of the best of the best in the world, at least considered so by Minister Flaherty. I looked through your resumé. You have a Ph.D., a Masters, a Honours BA in economics, and, in fact, you spent a considerable time at Export Development Canada, 14 years it looks like, as senior VP, chief economist, CEO and president. Some people may not realize it, but you also spent a lot of time at the bank before, some 14 years, in various capacities.
You've seen the inner workings of Export Development Canada, as well as the Bank of Canada, is that fair to say?
