Over my three and a half years, this is my 16th visit to a parliamentary committee. I guess in contrast to the previous government, over 10 years the finance ministers attended committee 20 times, so my record is about four times per year as compared with the previous government, which was about twice a year.
This is consistent with our approach to making sure that we make ourselves available to the committee and to Canadians. We think that's important. It's a way for us to talk about the important things we're trying to achieve and answer important questions that help people understand how the government is working on their behalf.
