Mr. Robidoux, I'm not one to go back and ask you for a make-work project, but I would be grateful to receive those numbers. Let me share with you why that is.
It seems to me this government has been beaten up, fairly or otherwise, and I would suggest to you not so fairly, in terms of jobs created. While it may not be an exact science, when credible sources like your own and the other two forecasting groups you've mentioned have a range, it might be rather interesting to say at least under 220,000 jobs and “depending on”. This isn't polling. This is using some reference points to try to come up with credible numbers.
I would like to know that range. I think it would be useful for this committee to know that range. For the record, at the lowest end we're talking 220,000 jobs and potentially higher.
But I'll come back to make another point.
