Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for appearing today as we try to figure our way through this very difficult time for Canadians.
I want to start with Dr. Mintz. As you know it's a double whammy in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Not only do we have the crisis of COVID, but we also have the significant crisis of low oil prices and the resource sector being on its heels. The struggle is even greater in those two provinces.
Do you have any thoughts on what good public policy would be able to help those industries, in addition to the current programs that we're seeing with the wage subsidy programs, the loan programs, the BDC programs?
Could you give us any insights that you might have of something that might be able to help those provinces?
