Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to share my opening statement time with Rachel Wernick. She can follow me right after.
Kwe. Good day. I'm very pleased to be here and to be able to join you from Algonquin territory today.
I'd like to thank the members of this committee for their continued work during these challenging times.
My remarks will be twofold. First of all, I want to provide some context on how the public service responded to the challenges posed by COVID-19, as it delivered emergency measures and supports for the government. I will then speak about the measures the government has taken to support young Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
