Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to start by expressing appreciation to my colleague Mr. Dolynny for bringing this motion forward.
Frankly, I’ve found the discussion so far refreshing. A lot of this information is being presented with the clarity that we haven’t had before because of the interviewing, questioning skills of Members. So I’m
learning and I appreciate that. I will be supporting this motion because I think it’s something we’ve talked about without doing. I know that the Department of Finance, the Minister has been interested in that from time to time and probably has done a little bit of work on it. So perhaps the Minister will take this. I would expect the Minister would take this as the opportunity to complete that research. I would appreciate an interim step in achieving this and that’s a comparison of the two techniques, their five-year rolling average versus this approach of knocking the tops off the highs and adding them to the lows.
One thing is clear, it needs to be addressed, and again, I appreciate Mr. Dolynny trying to actually get it addressed. Many of us have tried before and were clearly unsuccessful, but maybe this will do it. I’ll be supporting. Mahsi.
