Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their excellent presentations.
I'm particularly interested in the place and position of not-for-profit organizations and charities, not just now but as we address the crisis at hand and the recovery that will eventually take place.
I'll start with Mr. Roth.
I know, Mr. Roth, that you can't speak for the sector at large, but from your point of view, what are a couple of things that are really crucial going forward for the federal government to keep in mind as it puts in place a strategy for recovery? Where can not-for-profits fit in, and what are the best ways to help this sector?
I really believe that charities and not-for-profits have not just a role to play but a fundamental role to play. We heard from Imagine Canada last week. Bruce MacDonald put it quite well when he said that not-for-profits and charities, because of the specialized jobs that they do, are much better positioned to carry out vital services in a more efficient and effective way than government.
What is the role of the not-for-profit and charity sectors going forward in the recovery when it comes to COVID-19?
