Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all the witnesses for being here.
I saw a picture posted by my friend Jason on Facebook, which put into perspective the difference between a million and a billion. When we talk about billions, as in the case of the public debt charges my colleague was referring to, my friend was comparing one million seconds versus one billion seconds, one million seconds being the equivalent of 11 days, and one billion seconds being 31 years. So this puts into perspective the scale of the numbers we are talking about here and the increase in public debt charges from $24 billion to $38 billion.
My first question is about table 5 on revenues, particularly about the corporate income tax. Did you take into account the recent announcement reducing the tax on small and medium-sized businesses from 10.5% to 9%?
