Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm going to go back, Monsieur Giroux, to the line of questioning my colleague had around the deficit spending.
This year's spending has increased to $493.7 billion, which is an increase of $50.4 billion. You state in your economic outlook that the deficit is projected to resume its downward trajectory if there are no new measures and if existing measures sunset, but, as I indicated in my first round, this is not consistent with the government's spending patterns.
Based on this government's record, and the fact that new measures are already being introduced, do you expect this to be accurate? My colleague asked you what area of spending is most concerning to you. Do you believe the projected resumption of the deficit's downward trajectory is possible, is accurate, based upon your comments?
