Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of you for coming here today.
This issue is a very important one because, as we've heard, a lot of money, and a big portion of the budget, is transferred to provinces for very worthwhile programs.
I wanted, first of all, to thank you for the study and to also mention that a new policy on transfer payments came into effect on October 1. This study was completed on May 31. So I want to ask if this study took into account the new policy. I suppose that's a question for the Comptroller General.
