Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm very proud to be part of a government that has such an incredibly strong finance minister, to the point where he's regarded as the single strongest finance minister in the world, and not judged by this government, although that is our opinion, but by those around the world. I would tell you that there will be those who see the glass as half-empty, but as my Cape Breton mom used to always say, it's more crucial to look at things as half-full if you want to move along and get ahead.
