Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the members of this committee for your ongoing work during these extremely challenging and unprecedented times.

I also want to thank you for inviting me today to speak to Canadians about the measures we've taken as a government to support young Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accompanying me today is my senior associate deputy minister, Gina Wilson. Moving forward, I will acknowledge her as “my deputy”.

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the daily lives of all Canadians and disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable.
