Fine, thank you.
In connection with what you said earlier, Mr. Campbell, about jobs, we received an action plan from Treasury Board Secretariat, an action plan on the economic action plan. We got the email at 9:30 this morning. I wouldn't say this was done over coffee this morning and then sent to us. I wouldn't go that far. However, I have to say quite frankly that reading the responses is one thing and understanding what you are trying to do is quite another.
Take recommendation 1.69. The idea is to determine the impact, what the actual impact is. It's not about coming along and “chucking” money left and right and creating an economic stimulus package to put people to work. We also want to know what impact this will ultimately have.
Then it says in the “Actions and Timelines” column that “the Department of Finance continues to monitor the impact”. Let me tell you, that doesn't do much, nor does it give the impression that you know the actual figures and what this has done directly for the economy.
I would like to come back to what you said earlier, Mr. Rochon, about your macroeconomic analysis to determine the number of jobs that will have been created. You were aware of the recommendations of the Office of the Auditor General. But I don't know how you are going to be able to monitor the impact of the economic action plan since you have already decided to use macroeconomic analysis to determine how many jobs will have been created by the economic stimulus package.
To put it bluntly, coming up with an action plan on the economic action plan is a pretty weak response. I don't know what you were hoping to accomplish by writing these three responses for us and then sending them to us at the last minute. I wouldn't be surprised if some people were embarrassed about sending this to us, because there are no concrete results in it. There are things that are asked for, there are things that are...
Do I have any time left, Mr. Chairman?
