Thank you.

I'll direct this question to Dr. Smart.

This is around ancillary economy-driven aspects of the care economy. We've talked a lot about care work itself. I'm just wondering if Dr. Smart has any comments about what ancillary businesses will also grow and that we need to invest in within Canada. I'm thinking about PPE. I'm thinking about anything, such as infrastructure, lifts and things like that.

I would love to hear some thoughts as to how this will all swing around to other areas of the economy.
