Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here this morning. We appreciate your attendance here again.
Minister, before I was elected I had great concerns with regard to the Liberal practice of polling. There seemed to be a poll for everything in terms of public opinion on anything, and this concern continued after I was elected and as we, as a government, took over the responsibility of managing the public purse but also managing the different departments.
I'm wondering if you can give us any insight into whether we're seeing a trend as far as polling numbers are concerned. I'm hoping they're on their way down, but I'm wondering if you can give us any kind of update in terms of what we can expect from our government in terms of public polling and what the numbers look like right now.
