I think that was a very good practice in the sense that it provided parliamentarians with a very good idea of how quickly the pandemic was evolving and how the impacts on Canadians were being felt. It provided the committee members, as well as parliamentarians and Canadians, with an idea of how many people were using these benefits. In that sense, it was a very welcome transparency initiative. I personally was hoping it would continue after prorogation because of the value of the information it represented, certainly for me and my office as well as many stakeholders.
