Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for being here today.
I understand the complexity of the situation. As an alternate member of the committee, I see that we really have to focus on finding solutions. You suggested several possibilities. I believe I understood that the decisions we make have consequences on the Canadian economy as a whole, and not just on one sector. There will be a ripple effect all over the country.
What I am trying to understand—and you gave some examples—are the measures we must examine and put in place in order to protect businesses and workers. That is really where the government has to concentrate its efforts, in both the short and long term.
Mr. Winkler, you made some very generous comments, and you mentioned that we need significant measures. In your opinion, which measures should the government prioritize, together with the provinces, the territories, and all partners concerned?
