Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I join my colleagues in welcoming you back to our committee to provide us with more explanations on your report on the mains.
I know that, as you mentioned, the mains were tabled before the budget and they don't include any new spending in the figures that we're looking at. I want to note for you and my colleagues here today that Canadians back home in Saskatchewan are absolutely blown away by the figure of $1.22 trillion in projected federal debt. They are gravely concerned by the $43.9 billion, which is the amount projected to be the cost of servicing Canada's national debt this fiscal year. As it has already been noted, the debt-servicing costs have increased by 60% since last year.
With the plan by this government to continue running deficits, have you done any estimates or analysis on how much the debt-servicing costs will grow under the government spending plans over the next few years?
