Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to everyone for being here today to share your valuable testimony. Of course I am sad to see that the Canadian Labour Congress is having technical issues and can't be here at this point, but I also respect how important it is to make sure that the interpreters who serve us so well get the sound quality that they require.
If I can come to you Ms. Hogan, your office did an audit on the CERB, looking at the period from March 2020 to January 2021, and you released a series of recommendations, including suggestions on what to consider when designing an emergency response benefit. Was your office consulted in the development of the Canada worker lockdown benefit?
