We appreciate that. Without the information we're looking for, obviously we can't do our job, as a committee.
Even though my colleagues sometimes question the approach we take and the questions we're asking, clearly for us to do our job of dealing with the very purpose for the stimulus package in the first place, which was to create jobs and deal with ailing infrastructure throughout the country, we need to be able to find out exactly what is happening, the amount of money being spent, what it's being spent on, and the number of jobs being created.
That's precisely why we're here and why we're asking these questions. It's difficult for us to do our job when you don't have the information we can ask you about.
I have a problem with the deadline for March 2011 and the fact that we're already one year into the stimulus program. Have you been told this is a definitive deadline? Is there any chance, at all, that this deadline could move?
