Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to acknowledge all the guests and thank them for their presentations. The discussions have been very enlightening.
My first question is for Mr. Milliard.
You spoke about the Canada emergency rent subsidy and the importance of making it retroactive. As you pointed out, when we talk to the minister about this, she says that she would rather look forward, to the future.
How would you argue that making this subsidy retroactive isn't the same as looking backwards?
