Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Dobrowolski, for your testimony here this morning.
I want to start by saying that I have a little bit of sympathy for the construction industry, having at one time worked in an engineering office to put myself through school. I was low man on the totem pole in the drafting office, but I gained some conversancy with the process of putting jobs out to tender. The honourable member from Markham may be interested to know that I inspected most of the sewers of the east side of Markham and did a lot of the survey work out there. So I have some conversancy with the town of Markham as well.
I have a couple of questions for you that I hope we can explore. First of all, what did you see as the primary objective of the stimulus package when the government brought it forward?
