Okay, thank you very much.
Let's move on to another topic, one quite popular these days. Canada isn't the only country facing this situation. Not only is the world constantly evolving, it's also constantly changing. The traditional order is no longer. You said you were there when the free trade agreement negotiations began. Before, everyone understood the rules governing the international order. Now, there is a great deal of uncertainty. Obviously, that has an impact on a government's economic forecasts and, therefore, on a budget's evolution as revenues and expenditures change.
How do you see your role as Parliamentary Budget Officer in this new environment of great uncertainty and wide variations like never before? Do you see your role as not only analyzing the situation, but perhaps making recommendations to the government? Given the current context, including the war in the Middle East, rising energy prices and a possible global recession, do you see your role as also advising the government?
