Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Brison, at a previous meeting, you said you were our watchdog. Since then, there have been some rather worrisome signs. During the election campaign, you committed to modest deficits.
The Minister of Finance has announced a deficit that is much higher than expected. The numbers are contradictory. Have you exaggerated your expenditures or underestimated your revenues? I asked you at our last meeting whether the plane had a pilot or the ship, a captain.
Can you assure us that you are managing taxpayer money efficiently and that you will achieve your financial objectives?
