Thank you for your question, Mr. Laforest. I started in a French immersion program at the age of six. I can work in French. My main responsibility will be to provide analysis and advice on government expenditures, on major projects and on the budget, and to establish a link with the economic situation in order to know how this could influence budget planning and Parliamentarians' choices.
On May 1st, 2008. See this statement in context.
