Thank you.
This next question is for anyone on the panel who wishes to comment.
There's been a lot of commentary from our opposition colleagues that we have spent too much on these programs, and that the supports we have implemented caused us to go into debt. We heard it again today in certain testimonies.
There are few options for financing monumental programs like the ones created to help Canadian weather this pandemic: either increase Canada's annual debt, raise taxes on Canadian families and businesses, or cut funding to crucial programs.
In your opinion, how should the federal government have financed this extra spending during this time?
