Mr. Chair, I am not going to explain again how the estimates are prepared, but I will quote Kevin Page, a former parliamentary budget officer. He said that we have a credible fiscal strategy.

Madam Chair, the discussion we are having today is supposed to be on the main estimates. This seems to be outside of that scope.
