Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the minister for taking the time to join us and discuss his department and issues related to COVID-19.

I, too, would like to thank all the public servants who are working hard to ensure that Canadians have access to the services they need in these difficult times.

I represent a number of public servants, and I wonder about the measures taken.

Have we taken any additional steps in the event that a public servant's spouse is infected with COVID-19?

How does the department support employees who are sick and those caring for their spouse?
