Throughout the pandemic, we did see both at the level of the Government of Canada and at the level of virtually all provinces some increase in the size of deficits. That being said, the largest increase by far was at the federal level, because, as I think you know, the federal government paid something in the order of 80% or 85% of the total cost of COVID, so the provinces were much less stressed financially.
One of the things we've seen over the last 18 to 24 months as a result of the strength of the recovery in the economy with respect to business incomes, individual incomes, commodity prices, etc., all of which have flowed into incremental revenues, is a very significant turnaround at the provincial level. It's true at the federal level as well, but at the provincial level it's particularly marked, such that a number of provinces—all but three or four, I think—are now essentially in a surplus position.
Because the federal government bore so much of the burden of COVID, and given now the actually quite remarkable strength of the recovery that occurred as the economy reopened, provincial finances are in, I would say, exceptionally good shape.
