Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm going to continue saying why I really think Minister Freeland should appear before our committee.

Even more important, she could answer questions since she chaired the cabinet committee responsible for the federal response to the coronavirus disease, or COVID‑19. She could also answer questions on the funding programs she introduced since she's also Minister of Finance.
Again, very briefly, if we are privileged, and Minister Freeland appears before the committee, if we all agree that would be a good idea—
