Thank you, Mr. Balsillie.
Ms. Tiessen, thank you for being here.
In response to the federal budget, Mr. Dias stated, “The only proven way to lead Canada out of the COVID-19 recession is through investments, and it's clear that Minister Freeland understands that reality.”
How would you respond to criticism that the federal government is spending too much to support Canada's economic recovery from the pandemic? In your opinion, could we have afforded not to make these investments at this point in time?
