Thank you very much.
Thank you all for being here. I appreciate your perspectives. I so appreciate that this was a collaborative effort and that this was an investment in the future of Canadians and it was made possible through the elasticity—you spoke about how you merged the policy elements.
Everybody did extra, and the result is that Canadians were incredibly well served. I was on the outside looking in when this happened, unlike some of my colleagues who were members of Parliament at that time, and as Jane Q. Citizen, I was impressed with the bureaucracy and the alacrity they showed. That came out loud and clear in everything I heard about it.
There's something I heard today I'm really interested in. Well, there are a few things.
By the way, compliments also to working in partnership with your provincial and territorial colleagues. I may get to that question as well, but first I heard from Mr. Nevison about the macroeconomic models you're using; it's rare for a chartered accountant to be interested in macroeconomic models, especially when so much audit stuff is going on. Could you elaborate on that? I think that's really important for us to hear. It's a way of extrapolating the results, and you were only able to touch on that in your response to another colleague. If you could take a moment, I would appreciate that.
