Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll start with a few questions for Ms. Fox.
Ms. Fox, there has been a lot of conjecture from the opposition, both from members who have served in government previously and those who have not. A lot of the questions seem to revolve around the phrase “a normal practice” or “Is this how decisions are typically made?” However, I think my colleagues forget that back in March through May, we were not operating as per usual times or as business as usual or commonplace.
Can you enlighten this committee about how there was nothing normal or commonplace in how the government had to operate during the pandemic lockdown?
