Mr President, I have a final supplementary question. The government proposes to run deficits now and for many years to come. Is the government complying with its strategy to achieve budget surpluses on average over the course of the economic cycle? Does the government consider that Keynesian economics provides justification for our current deficits, and is it prudent to borrow now in the hope that economic growth will be better in the future?
