As I said, today is an important opportunity. The goal is to determine what the priorities are for various committees. You now have the opportunity of telling me what your committee's most important priorities are.
I know that the time is short, particularly with this session; we're probably looking at another month and a half in terms of working with parliamentarians on the establishment of those priorities, and at the same time doing some hiring. Over that period of time, I'm hoping to follow up on the work we're doing with committees, to work individually with a number of senators and members of the House to talk about priorities, but also to bring forward in front of them what we think the business model for the parliamentary budget officer should be, explain how we will work with the Library of Parliament, because I think our role is a bit different, and explain some of the products and services we hope to bring forward as early as the fall. Some of these products and services will be periodic reports on the economy and the fiscal situation, and some will be a research agenda.
We know the time is short. We're not planning to take long holidays in the summer. We hope to use our time efficiently.
