Thank you.
I'll start with Ms. Doss-Cody.
I don't think I need to hear a whole lot more from you because you were very good on what you were determining we need to change so that you're deemed to be an essential service. During the pandemic I found it rather interesting that an accountant doing taxes was deemed an essential service, probably because they wanted to collect the taxes. It does not always make sense as to what is deemed an essential service. In my opinion, you definitely should be, so that is something we definitely need to take forward as a recommendation.
I'll go to you now, Mr. Chartrand.
In our previous panel, I made a comment that this committee has a lot of rural members. We probably have half a dozen of the largest rural ridings in the country.
You were talking about how the funding is not necessarily the same in the rural areas and it's affecting the rural areas because they're not on par. Could you expand on that?
I guess I could have gone to Ms. Doss-Cody on that as well, but you can start, Mr. Chartrand.
