Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Deputy Minister Shugart.
We undertook this study to try to ferret out some kernels of information about what the government's plan really is to pay down this behemoth deficit. Just to set the frame of what our investigation is, we're frustrated that the government was bragging from the rooftops of every building in the country as they spent their way to get through the recession. The spending was extremely public. But now when we ask what the plan is to pay down the deficit, all of a sudden that's a deep, dark secret. That's a cabinet confidence, if you will.
I have a feeling that you know more than you're telling us in this paper. It's beautifully written, by the way. Who wrote your presentation today?
