Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon Mr. Minister, as well as the witnesses and guests.
The government had to act quickly to ensure that Canadians would benefit from the stimulus measures under the Canada Economic Action Plan, approved by government and by Parliament. The budget was tabled in January, and we are barely into this fiscal year.
In what way has Treasury Board accelerated the government approval process, and do Treasury Board's accountability measures apply to these accelerated deadlines?
