Okay. Great.

I have one other question. A lot of the report focused on public debt, for example, but we know that we have to take into consideration household debt as well when we're devising policies.

I'm curious. Knowing that a big chunk of the $250 billion was focused on helping families pay their bills and pay down some of their debts as well, how important was the federal stimulus to help and support families in light of the household debt that we have in Canada?
