Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for your opening statement.
I want to begin by congratulating the Prime Minister for putting together such an outstanding team at the Department of Finance to lead us through the remainder of the pandemic and into the economic recovery.
Minister Freeland, Minister Fortier, our colleague Sean Fraser and deputy minister Michael Sabia bring the experience, skills and leadership our country needs right now. I have no doubt that Canadians are in good hands.
Minister, would you give us an idea of the principles behind the $70 billion to $100 billion the government plans to put forward to support the recovery?
