My easy response is that I listen to the scientists and the medical experts on that question, but we also have to be ready as economists and policy analysts to make moves once we hear there is a transition to be made, listening to the health experts. What I mean is thinking about the hiring decision. A company that might be responding to the wage subsidy wants to know whether it's going to be there in June, July or August if they're making a hiring decision in May. It might be the case that the wage subsidy is smoothed out over time and goes down from 75% towards 0% over a number of months. That's one possibility. That's information we want the companies to have when they're making hiring decisions.
I understand that we cannot put deadlines on things right now without having more information about the course of the virus, because as others have said, the virus sets the timeline. However, we need to be ready when the time is there. We need to think about how we can phase these programs out so that we can get back to an economy that works for all Canadians.
