Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you so much, Mr. Ste-Marie. This is extremely kind of you. I really do have to leave the meeting soon.
Mr. Chair, I would also like to advise you that I am going to give Ms. May the last minute of my time.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here. We certainly hope that you and your families are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic.
Thank you, Mr. Robson, for the shout-out to Jagmeet Singh, who is speaking today at the C.D. Howe Institute. I'm missing it too, so unfortunately we're both missing what I certainly hope will be our next prime minister speaking at the C.D. Howe Institute.
I wanted to come back to the issue that you raised, Mr. Robson, about the fact that there has been no budget. We just had the Parliamentary Budget Officer on, and he talked about the fact that there simply isn't another industrialized economy that has waited more than two years for a national budget, so I'd like to come back to that.
How big a failure is that, when we're the only industrialized country that hasn't produced a budget in over two years?
