Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of small business owners who have done the right thing to protect the public's health by closing their doors when it was necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Indeed, that strong public health response is what will enable us to rebound successfully.
I will remind the hon. member that in the months of February and March, the Canadian economy added 259,000 and 303,000 jobs, respectively. As we continue to deal with the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, I expect businesses will continue to do the responsible thing. However, we will be there for them to ensure that they can contribute to the recovery when it is safe to do so.
