Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First I'd like to welcome Mr. Page to the Library of Parliament and to his new job in the budgetary role that he's going to be doing.
There are a couple of issues that I need to get clarified in my mind.
You mentioned that the first big one is going to be the fiscal update in the fall. Of course, there is the budget in the spring. These are the two major announcements by the Minister of Finance during the year. There may be others, but these are the two big ones that we expect.
When these documents are tabled in the House of Commons by the minister, how quickly do you expect to be offering your assessment on these numbers? Are you going to have access to the Department of Finance, to the numbers, so you can be concurrent, or are you going to have to take some time, like several weeks, to make your announcements?
