Thank you.
Mr. Hemmings, the OECD mentioned in their March 11 report that the COVID recovery process is “an opportunity” to build a more resilient economy that's “fairer and greener”.
Finance minister Chrystia Freeland used that exact same term recently, calling this pandemic a “political opportunity”. Quite frankly, Canadians find that beyond the pale. My constituents are losing their businesses, their livelihoods and their mental health. People I speak to on the phone are crying because they're losing everything, and it feels like the government plans to kick us when we're down. Does this really seem to you like an opportunity to drastically change our economy?
