Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses.
I would like to go on the record saying that pre-budget consultations that have this many witnesses at committee are very hard, because there are so many great people to ask questions of. I wish every other committee would frankly take it upon themselves to dig deeper within their own remits and provide the government with some recommendations they want to see in the budget.
I want to spend a few minutes with Governor Dodge.
Governor, you mentioned a number of months ago one thing that the government can do. In fact, you said that about all the feds can do to tame inflation is slow their spending. Do I have that about right? That was in an interview you provided.
