Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
We have put the wage subsidy forward with the sole intent of keeping employees and employers tied to one another. What we do not want to see when this is over is huge unemployment. We want people to be able to remain employed.
I think it would be hypocritical if we did not do the same thing that we are encouraging private sector businesses to do, which is to keep their employees and maintain that link between employer and employee, because at the end of this we need to make sure that Canadians can get back to work very quickly.
