Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I will wrap up. My main point was that I think it's unprecedented to have our Prime Minister come to committee at all. I think an hour is sufficient, and I also think an hour is sufficient with the chief of staff. I believe we have had enough witnesses; that has fulfilled the original mandate of the motion that was passed on July 6.
I'll say one more thing. We are still in a pandemic. To be honest, I believe the last four months were easy; I think the tough ones are yet to come. We have a lot of work ahead of us to restart and rebuild the economy, and to do so under so much uncertainty. There is so much great work that this committee could be doing in terms of looking at some of the tough decisions we need to make ahead, around our economy, around the sectors that desperately need support, around a green recovery, around looking at things like a universal basic income. There is so much more work that we could be putting our energy into. Maybe it's the idealist in me, but I just want, for one moment in time, for us to drop the partisan games and step up to be the government that the Canadian population needs at this time. Let's come together and bring our best ideas and our best energy to figuring out how we could chart a course past this unprecedented pandemic and how we could build a country that is more resilient, more equitable, more just and more prosperous.
That's where I'd like us to focus our attention: not the fishing expedition that's happening right now and not the theatrics, but our moving on to dealing with what is absolutely top of mind for Canadians today.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
