Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. First I would like to say hello to committee members. I don't have the chance to take part in proceedings regularly, but I nevertheless want to say hello.
I find the motion relevant, in view of the current context of economic disruption. This morning, Mr. Jean-Robert Sansfaçon wrote in Le Devoir that hundreds of thousands of Canadians had lost their jobs in the past few months, but the majority were receiving benefits, contrary to what some claim. He went further by saying that we have every interest in determining the impact of the measures that have been put in place to mitigate the effects of the crisis on workers.
In that context, I find this motion interesting.
