We appreciate hearing you say it directly, Mr. Fréchette.
I do not have much time left, but I would like to go back to what I would call the prudence issue.
The previous government did not show such prudence when it presented its budgets, unlike Mr. Martin, for example, who did so during the 1990s and 2000s.
Our Minister of Finance wants to go back to exercising prudence. You are clearly saying that he might have been a bit too prudent with regard to growth. He is underestimating the country's economic opportunities. I would argue that being prudent when making budget projections is an excellent tool for any fiscal manager, such as our finance minister.
Could you comment on the return to prudent budget projections as compared to the practices of the previous government? How do you feel about this issue?
