Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Madam Mathyssen, for giving up time.
Mr. Haché, thank you for coming today. Again, when I talk to people in northern Ontario, there are still many deep questions.
I go back to these statements that you made to the students. You were looking at a balanced budget last spring, and then you had $10 million of additional expenses as a result of COVID. That makes sense. Every university and every community college I'm aware of has been hit hard. Everybody's been hit hard by COVID.
Who made the decision that the only option to get out of this was to go into bankruptcy protection? Who made that call? Who told you that it was your only option?
