Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I circle back to my original question about recommendations on how to make it easier for us in public accounts and on all Canadians as well, I want to take a second to ask you a question on the VW report that you released. I was there this morning and I was listening very attentively.
I want to ask you a simple question: Have you ever seen the scale of investment in our auto workers and in manufacturing, in manufacturing communities like this one, like the scale of investment in Volkswagen in St. Thomas and also in Stellantis in Windsor, my hometown?
I'm asking you as someone who grew up in an auto town, who has experienced the ups and downs of the automotive industry and who has seen the dark days of 10 years ago and the displacement, the job losses. Have you seen this scale of investment in our auto workers and auto communities like St. Thomas and Windsor, which you studied in your PBO report that you presented to us this morning?
