Thank you, Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to focus my questions on Mr. Brun. I have before me a copy of the speech Mark Carney gave yesterday in Nanaimo, in which he said—and of course I paraphrase—that Canada's public finances are sound and our financial system showed itself to be among the most resilient in the world through the crisis. One thing Canadian businesses can expect is that their financial system will be there if times get tough again. He went on to say that in this uncertain world, Canada is rightly viewed as an attractive investment destination.
I was wondering if you could comment on the governor's remarks yesterday in Nanaimo.
