Minister, there is a disconnect between what is emerging as a growing consensus over a fear of a full recession in the U.S. and Europe and what you're saying here today. Earlier this week, on Monday, Conservative members of this committee refused to invite independent economists to appear before this committee. In fact, your parliamentary secretary said that they were afraid it might worry Canadians if independent economists were to appear before this committee.
Is that why your government refused to allow those independent economists to appear before this committee? Is it because of the delta between what they're predicting for the U.S. and Europe and what you're predicting here this morning?
