Thank you so much.
I just want to say a huge thank you to Senior Deputy Governor Wilkins and to you, Governor Poloz, for presenting to us today. As this is, as you mentioned, your last time before our committee, I want to thank you for your extraordinary service to Canada and I want to thank you for your leadership during this pandemic.
Governor, over the course of the last month you've taken some very significant measures to ensure that the financial markets in Canada continue to function and that credit remains available. I know you've adjusted the overnight rate a number of times and you've introduced a number of programs to increase liquidity in core funding markets. You've taken us through that today in your presentation.
Yesterday, as you mentioned, you presented your monetary policy report and you announced some additional support.
In my riding of Davenport, my constituents, like most constituents across the country, are worried and stressed during this pandemic. They're wondering whether life will ever go back to normal.
What should our constituents think about your announcements? What signal are you sending them?
