Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate that, and I will do my best to stay within the eight minutes that I'm afforded.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you coming. As you know, one of the most important things we're hearing about in our ridings and one of the initiatives that is most important to this government is the stimulus package, and more importantly the budget, getting the budget out the door and getting the funds flowing so that we can build the roads, the bridges, and the other things that Canadians are depending on us to do. Obviously the government has to work cooperatively with the bureaucracy to get this done.
I was wondering if you might be able to highlight some of the things that the bureaucracy, or the public service, is doing to help speed up the implementation of Budget 2009.
