Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to bring Dr. Exner-Pirot into the conversation.
We had presentations from the Toronto Community Benefits Network. It's something that I worked on in my area to get some additional supports for local areas geographically where we had traditionally overrepresentation of unemployment, poverty and lack of opportunity for federal projects. What they have proposed and what they're doing on a number of projects themselves is to include those components into contracts, similar to the United States, where there are percentages of allotment in a geographically looked-at area to reverse some of the historic lost opportunities.
I wonder what your thoughts are with regard to community benefits in federal programs for building back, especially when it comes to specific targeted areas where we know the representation is not equal to the opportunities.
