Mr. Chair, I'd like to continue along the same lines as my colleague Mr. Caron and come back to Mr. Greene's answer.
The parliamentary budget officer's report indicates a decrease of federal revenues by $45 million in 2016-17 and an impact on 70 jobs for the 2017-18 fiscal year.
Mr. Greene, you spoke about a relatively minor comparative impact. For all the budget measures combined, we're talking about a growth rate of 0.5% for this fiscal year and 1% for the coming fiscal year. So in a $2-trillion economy, we're talking about approximately $20 billion in economic growth, compared with a decrease of $45 million. I think this is growth to the tune of 100,000 jobs.
To put into perspective my colleague Mr. Caron's comments on the impact of this measure in the budget, could you confirm these figures?
