Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for appearing before us today.
My first question follows on your comment about the policy of fiscal prudence. We note that despite that, since 2006, the advertising expenditures for your department have done nothing but escalate. There are rumours that the department is considering reverting back to pre-Gomery and farming out to outside parties delivery of the advertising. I wonder if you could speak to that and to whether there is in place a fiscal prudence strategy that will soon be revealed on spending on things such as the economic action plan.
