Mr. Chair, there are always differences between the private sector and the public sector. What I can say is that I invested in the future, just as we are doing for Canadians. In that respect, my approach is the same. The question is, is it working? Clearly, it is, because we are doing well. It is true that the global economy is doing well, but last year, in 2017, we had the fastest growth in the G7, which means we were doing better than the rest of the G7. Our investments created a good situation for Canadians. Now, we can look ahead to the future with greater resilience.
