Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our panellists today. It's been very interesting to hear you identify, I guess, the major causes of supply chain issues across the country.
When we talk about all the issues identified with fires in B.C. and western Canada, floods and extreme cold, and the national and international picture, we hear people talk about supply chain issues caused by COVID.
I guess this is a very simple, basic question for any of you who would like to speak on this. Assuming we were living in a world where COVID had not existed for the past two years, would we have the same supply chain issues?
Maybe Mr. Brazeau and Mr. Montpetit or others can comment on that.
