When you're talking about agency—I didn't get a chance to go to Mr. MacLeod yet, but maybe he can chime in on this—one in four jobs in Canada right now is a government job. We've never had more government than we have right now. We've never had larger federal budgets and provincial budgets than we have right now.
How does this help people with their sense of agency? It seems to me that when you expect the government to do more for you, it doesn't deliver the same result.
Mr. Beebe, you came here asking for more money from the taxpayers in order to create a better outcome for people. We've never spent more; we've never had more government workers, and we've never had worse outcomes for the generation we're talking about.
If you're going to talk about agency, that's giving people control over their lives and control of the decisions they make and having positive outcomes. How do you see more government doing what more government hasn't been able to do for the last 10 years?
