Thank you, Chair.
Madam Fraser, once again, thank you. We're happy to have you with us here today.
When I look at this audit in its totality, as a parliamentarian I have to say I think it's reflecting on the government; it's an excellent report card.
I look at the economic action plan; that has to be an A or A-plus. Management control of small agencies has to be an A or an A-plus; regulating large banks, registered charities; facilitating flow of imported commercial goods. So I see five out of nine here, A-pluses, and a couple of Bs and Cs.
I was in the provincial parliament before and I've been here for two years. It's the most positive audit that I've ever seen for a government. One of the As is definitely Canada's economic action plan.
You answered a question from my colleague regarding the amount of spending for economic stimulus, it being probably the largest in history. Wasn't it also the largest amount of money spent over a short period of time because of the urgency of the worldwide recession?
