Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses for being with us today.
I have spoken to many of the constituents in my riding who've been able to access the wage subsidy through their employers or to access the simplified EI program as many of them are employed or were employed in one way or another by the transportation sector.
I've also had a chance to speak to friends in other countries who say the CERB, EI or wage subsidy types of support are not available in their countries. You know, these are very important programs that we have, and lots of Canadians, millions of workers, in fact, have benefited across the country through this very challenging time.
Mr. Dias, my question is to you. Are you supportive of the Government of Canada's broader measures to support Canadians through this pandemic, measures such as the Canada recovery benefit and the simplified EI program?
