Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses.
My first question goes to you all. Whoever wants to answer is free to do so. During the last election, Mr. Scheer and his Conservative colleagues pledged to cut $18 billion from infrastructure. I find that shocking because we are living in a country with an enormous infrastructure deficit.
This question goes to all the witnesses, because it is very important in this extremely difficult time when we are facing a crisis, both in health and in the economy.
Do you feel that Canadian workers and their families can afford cuts of that magnitude?
