Thank you very much, and thank you, Minister Clement.
Mr. Minister, I just have one quick question. In response to my colleague, Mr. Ravignat, you had said that under this government the Conservatives' costs for advertising had declined by 36%. I find that a little puzzling, because based on the reports provided by your government, since you took power, each year the costs have escalated by two, and sometimes three, times.
Second, on many occasions far more was spent than was approved. So I'm left a little confused, and perhaps you'd like to clarify that.
