Thank you.

I want to turn quickly to a topic that the Prime Minister keeps bringing up repetitively in question period. He seems to pass off the CEWS program, which I know WestJet took advantage of, as acceptable for some type of sector supports for the airline sector. In fact, it was really a second-rate EI program and, more importantly, left Canada as one of the only nations in the world, much less in the G7 and G20, without any sector-specific support.

Can you comment on CEWS and what else you would have expected from this government in forms of support?
