Thank you, Chair.

Thanks, Minister, for joining us today. On behalf of all of the constituents of Scarborough Centre, I want to thank you for all the work that you have done in trying to help Canadians navigate through this pandemic.

I know, and you have also mentioned, that you have appeared at a WE Charity event. Obviously you are not the only politician or public figure to appear at such an event. Can you please talk us through why you appeared at that event, why you decided to do that? Were you paid, and did the WE Charity cover your expenses? If you can, please explain that.
