I completely understand what you're saying, but I don't completely agree with you. You say that it's up to us, as members of Parliament, to assess the ratio between costs and benefits. You're going to provide us with information on costs, but as far as benefits are concerned, you're not going to study that aspect. I'm not saying you should get into the politics of whether a particular measure is a good decision or a bad decision. I'm just wondering if you could provide us with the information on the costs and benefits so that we can evaluate the proposed measure.
My colleague Don Davies just gave the example of child care and the positive impact it can have on the economy. I've read the studies you've done in the past. In fact, you're conducting some very interesting analyses. In addition, you were able to estimate the economic impact of various programs.
Couldn't you add that to what you're looking at? I think it would help members of Parliament from all parties make more informed decisions.
