I will just say this. We have had, for a very long time, two goals in mind—one, to protect the health of Canadians and indigenous people, and two, to protect the economy. As the member opposite knows, you can't have a strong economy if people are sick with COVID-19.

So it's about balancing those two goals carefully to make sure that the supports are in place as our economy recovers and as people are protected from COVID-19.
