Mr. Chair, I'm not sure I can respond to the question of investment in Canada, because I think it goes far beyond the transparency of the public accounts and the accountability to a parliamentary committee. But certainly the fact that the Government of Canada produces these financial statements that receive clean audit opinions and give this level of detail and transparency around our finances is I think a credit to the country and an indication of the accountability and transparency that exists here.
