I thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Maybe I will pick up from where Mr. Barrett left off with respect to the context in 2020. What was it like in Global Affairs at the height of the pandemic as the government was rolling out more and more initiatives? What was it like within your department as you were servicing three ministers within the department? Also, how important is it for Canadians to have known about all of these services that were being provided to potentially millions of Canadians who lost their jobs?
What was it like? Can you help us understand?
