Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Sabourin.
Mr. Page, congratulations on your appointment to this position. I read your résumé. Your experience is quite impressive. I see that you have substantial experience in the area of planning, something of great interest to me.
I will repeat my colleague's question. On page 3 of your statement, you say « Building the capacity to support the mandate of the Parliamentary Budget Officer will take time. »
I would like to know why this will take time. In fact, as Mr. Jacques Sabourin stated, there are many people willing to give you a helping hand.
