Thank you.
There is one thing I wanted quickly to ask you about. We talked earlier about the spending the government did during the COVID pandemic. You and I had an exchange about that earlier. Inflation is obviously hurting my constituents. It's hurting all Canadians, but to my mind, if the government hadn't made those investments.... I'm thinking about things like CERB and the wage subsidy. Approximately nine million Canadians, for example, had to take advantage of CERB.
The economic damage from not doing that—from not having programs to support Canadians—would have been devastating to our economy and to Canadians.
Is it fair to say that would have been far more devastating than the inflation we are facing here today?
