I read the Report on Plans and Priorities. What I am looking for is the big picture. In his statement, the minister already gave us a sense of the measures that have been put in place. They involve simplifying programs and accountability, reducing processing times and reorganizing internal departments. As parliamentarians, we want to know more, about how you will go about each of those initiatives, how you will make those decisions, for example. We need something published so we can monitor all of that.
What's more—and this is a two-part question—you are reducing programs. You're getting rid of some that were temporary. That's well and good. According to the minister's statement, every $1 invested generates $2.33 in other investment. It might be a good idea to calculate the drop in economic activity arising from the drop in program investment.
In any case, I would like you to answer both parts of my question in the same order they were put, please.
