I want to thank you for what you do. I can understand the 24 planned FTEs for the next three years, from 2021 to 2022 to 2023 to 2024.
I'm glad to hear of the increased digitization, at least for the information you would collect on that basis. This is my second term as a member of Parliament. Even in my first session—I sat on the finance committee—I think I was the third most visited MP at the time. I really enjoy meeting with stakeholders because I get to learn, right? You learn. You learn about issues. Whether they are mortgage brokers, chicken farmers or a business association, you do get to learn, and you understand the issues that different parts of the economy are facing, different sectors and everything. I've always thought of that aspect of being a member of Parliament, especially as a policy wonk or someone who likes to learn policy, as being very important, but there's a flip side to that, which is that these individuals, because of our roles, need to register.
I do find the balance to be a good one, if I can say that. My interactions, if I can personalize it, with the office have always been great—and I'm going to keep it that way, of course—and productive, but at the same time, all of us have a duty of responsibility to maintain as office-holders.
In terms of teleworking, because you comment on it in the departmental plan, how has it changed your work? Has it made it more productive? Are you finding your employees overworked or stressed? We've been hearing, especially for professionals, that emails keep going at all times of the day.
