Thank you.
That perhaps illustrates where there are a great deal of differences between the Parliamentary Budget Officer's calculations and the large numbers the opposition are frequently talking about in the House. I don't think the facts actually bear out those allegations.
On the other part of this whole equation, some of this legislation has now been in place for a year--some of it for a little more than a year. Mr. Head told us a few weeks ago that they had expected a certain increase that didn't occur.
I'm wondering if Mr. Head has some numbers he could share with us from the experience of a year of the legislation. Are the numbers higher, lower, or right on what was anticipated? My sense is it illustrates the difficulty in trying to project forward, based on what the legislation is going to have.
I'm wondering if Mr. Head could provide us with some of that background.
