One thing that was striking in the response of the federal government to this crisis was how initially all of the focus was on workers. Of course, workers are important, but what almost seemed to be forgotten initially and was then just an afterthought was that we have to make sure that businesses survive. Yes, we have to get help to workers, but we need to ensure that when this crisis ends, those workers have a job to go back to in the business sector. I think more thought needs to be put into how we can, as I mentioned, keep more funds in the private sector so that it can survive and be a good employer when normal business resumes.
