Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good evening to all the witnesses.

Thank you for joining us, for being available and for your presentations. I'll start by asking Mr. Kassam a question.

You spoke about the CERB and the CESB, which are adverse incentives for workers. You said that a $2,000 taxable benefit should have been provided instead. My question is as follows. In your analysis, you didn't mention the minimum wage. Do you believe that a higher minimum wage could be a potential solution?
