Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Poloz and Mr. Macklem, thank you for making yourselves available to answer our questions.
I want to congratulate Mr. Macklem on his speech to the Economic Club of Canada, in Toronto. He brought to light the very big challenges our exporting businesses are facing.
I will begin with a quick question about the changes you made to the report's format and style in order to explicitly capture the inherent uncertainty in your outlook. Does that have to do with the current circumstances in the global economy, meaning financialization, the larger presence of financial markets and such?
