Thank you for raising the issue of rising program expenses. On page 13 of the budget, there's a graph that illustrates how we'll reduce that 8% annual increase to a more sustainable growth rate over the years. For that reason, one of the fiscal anchors we've set for ourselves is to align the operating budget with revenues by 2028‑29. At that point, any loans will be used for capital investments.
Thank you for highlighting the fact that we're moving from 8% to a rate that's much more sustainable over the long term. That's exactly what we wanted to illustrate in the graph on page 13 of the budget.
