Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for the C.D. Howe Institute, either Mark Zelmer or Jeremy Kronick.
The C.D. Howe Institute published its annual federal, provincial and territorial report card this past year, a report card that saw my home province of New Brunswick receive an A-minus grade, along with Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Nunavut. This same report card gave our federal government an F grade.
Can either Mr. Zelmer or Mr. Kronick explain to me how the federal government, with the answer key, can still receive a failing grade?
