Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll take a slightly different tack. This is an industry that has been in transition, and it saw disruption prior to the pandemic. What I mean by that is that we're seeing more automation and seeing changes to the last mile of delivery. We have companies like Instacart. Drivers for Instacart aren't part of a union and don't have guaranteed hours and wages, but they're definitely part of the system now. I get the sense that what happened during the pandemic is.... There was a decision to close down restaurants, for example, as part of the public health measures, and that removed a substitute for grocery stores, so you saw an increase in profit for grocery stores.
In that context, as we look at policies to address some of the challenges that you have all brought up today as union leaders, I'll go back to the comment you made, Mr. Dias, that the $2 wage increase could potentially push people out of the CERB. Can you expand on that comment for me? We have Instacart, an increased profit margin and automation. Now we have the CERB. What are the broader impacts of the pandemic issues on the workforce that you represent? What would your recommendations be in terms of equity?
