Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you so much, Mr. Giroux, for being here with us. It's always a pleasure to get your insights and to spark what is always an enlightening discussion.

In 2022, at the height of the global inflation crisis that was rocking countries around the world, Canada had about an 8% inflation rate. I was heartened to hear that you believe the inflation rate in Canada will go down this year.

Can you repeat when you expect the number to reach 2%, which is our target rate?
