Madam Chair, I would first like to salute my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent—Akiawenhrahk. He has a lot of experience and he knows that I have a great deal of respect for him.
I am pleased to see that he is keeping track of the number of days I have been Minister of Finance. I always learn something from my colleague. I just learned that it has been 88 days. I can tell him that I plan to keep on being the finance minister for a long time.
