Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Ryan and all of your team, for being with us here today.
I'm going to continue on a similar track, as one of the things that caught my eye in your analysis of the supplementary estimates was the reduction in projected public debt charges. Given that debt servicing costs are often a major focus of fiscal debates in this committee and, of course, in the House, I think it's important that Canadians understand what's driving those changes.
Your report notes a reduction of approximately $1.5 billion in projected public debt charges. Can you explain what factors have contributed to that improvement and tell us a bit about it in relation to Canada's current fiscal outlook?
