Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for meeting with us to answer our questions.
Mr. Fréchette, I would like to start with the issue of transparency.
Actually, in your April update, we see that it wasn't necessarily easier at the time for parliamentarians to properly study the various initiatives, especially those in the estimates. There was especially the fact that the budget has shortened the period for the government's cost estimates from five years to two.
Furthermore, the budget does not clearly make a distinction between purely discretionary decisions and the fluctuations in the economy. The government's response was that this is not necessarily a problem.
Did you receive a proper answer to your concerns on this issue?
