Thank you, Madam Chair.

My thanks to the witnesses. I am happy to see you again with us.

I enjoyed the presentation very much. I think I understand it well, though I only received it quite recently.

I have a question that is perhaps trivial. This year, the budget will be brought down on February 27. Usually, it is brought down towards the end of March. Does bringing down the budget several weeks in advance allow the Treasury Board a little more time to better identify and plan for expenditures, when compared to past budgets?
