Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good afternoon, Mr. Minister.

My regards also to the officials with you today.

Mr. Duclos, you are the President of the Treasury Board, as well as an economist. In the document that I am about to show you, you will see figure 1, dealing with the composition of expenditures in the Main Estimates 2021-2022. You will see a green circle, indicating the cost of servicing the debt.

This year's budget shows $21 billion for servicing the debt.

Does that concern you?
