I understand the challenges very well. We have many manufacturers here in London, where I am, and I can understand the call for continued support.
If you'll allow me, I'll play devil's advocate for a moment, because you also said in the presentation that you would advise the government to continue the wage subsidy for sectors like yours.
Just a few days ago, the following was said in The Globe and Mail, and I will quote directly. It's summarizing the recent findings of a StatsCan report:
The manufacturing sector, meanwhile, barely skipped a beat in the second wave. Manufacturing sales jumped 3.1 per cent in January—again, exceeding StatsCan's preliminary estimate—delivering the strongest growth since last July.
I want to see my manufacturers down here supported, but I'm also mindful of the fact that emergency programs, at some point, need to be tailored especially to those who are in special need. I'm very sympathetic to restaurants—Mr. Murphy's comments really stood out for me. However, for sectors that may not need continued support because they have seen a rebound, I worry that continued government support will lead to an unsustainable situation, if you know where I'm coming from.
Again, I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here.
What is your perspective on that?
