Thank you for your questions, Mr. Lemire. I would be happy to answer.
It goes without saying that CFDCs play an important role. That is why, since taking office, our government has quadrupled the funding for CFDCs, which now totals more than $120 million.
Our investments have better equipped CFDCs to fulfill their role, and that will be one of the positive legacies of the pandemic. We can certainly have fruitful discussions with the CFDC network to determine how we can expand their reach, not just economically, as you mentioned, but also at the community level. I welcome the opportunity to discuss that with them, as well as with you.
As we gradually emerge from the pandemic, we want to support green and inclusive growth through the economic recovery, and CFDCs definitely have a role to play.
