Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Dias, you said that Canada faces a productivity emergency, high debts and capital flight. You've also said that the government's economic footprint “is at a 30-year high, at the same time as we face a productivity emergency”, suggesting that it might be “time for a change in philosophy.” Earlier this month, McKinsey had similar findings. They said that the general government gross debt has climbed to about 107% of GDP, with debt charges now a top-five line item in public spending.
Mr. Dias, do you think we have a debt problem in Canada?
