I came to Victoria to this hardship post, leaving the senior public service, seven years ago. Since that time I've had the wonderful opportunity to reflect on some of these issues and have done a number of books, including most recently one called The Politics of Public Money, which the University of Toronto Press has just published. If you will grant me, I can even show it to you here. I know this probably shouldn't be done, certainly in the House of Commons, but I hope you'll allow me to do it here.
