That was not my question. Mr. Moran said he does not deal with the policy but in a sense the Department has made judgments in terms of the use of phrases such as: "Key economic indicators point to continued solid growth". He also said: "I am greatly encouraged by the robust pace of the recovery". In addition, he referred to "a balanced and equitable economy". I could name any amount of statistics but if we take health and housing where the latter is in major crisis, where does that feature in the overall report in the context of the "robust pace of recovery"? Where does housing come into that?
