Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good morning, everybody.

Thank you, Minister, and all of our witnesses, for joining our virtual committee meeting this morning.

We're all adjusting to working remotely. We're adapting and modernizing our systems to suddenly find ourselves working in a very different situation. I think we have to be very proud of how our public servants have stepped up to this challenge.

Minister, my question to you is this: How has the Treasury Board Secretariat provided flexibility to government departments so that they can respond to COVID-19 quickly and efficiently?
