Hello, Mr. Giroux. I welcome you and your team. On behalf of parliamentarians, thank you for your usual diligence.

I'd like to change the subject a bit and discuss your recent report on the fiscal sustainability of governments.

I don't know if you have the same numbers in mind, but we are told that the federal government has taken responsibility for about 80% of the pandemic-related expenses.

The perspective on the fiscal sustainability of governments in Canada seems to validate that decision, doesn't it?
