Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. The non-partisan public service recommended this structure as the only way to deliver the program in the required time. Obviously, the way this unfolded was regrettable, and that is why the charity is no longer administering the project.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, all Albertans should be proud of the contribution that Alberta and Albertans make to Canada's economy. We know that Alberta and the energy sector are an essential part of the strength of our country.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, the question of fiscal stabilization and whether it is something that should be updated and modernized is a very good one. Bev Dahlby has done some excellent academic research on that, and it is something that we are looking into.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, as I said, Bev Dahlby has done some great work on this. We are looking carefully into it.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we are in talks with Quebec and the provinces to decide what we must do together to prepare for a second wave and to ensure a safe and healthy recovery for all Canadians and Quebeckers.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as Canadians know, we are going through an unprecedented global pandemic and it has been incredibly important to communicate clearly with Canadians the measures we all need to take to stay safe—

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the money is being spent to communicate clearly with Canadians the extraordinary measures we all need to be safe and to stay safe and well—

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am quite certain that Canadians and our allies admire the work that we did as a country in renegotiating the new NAFTA. Canada is today the only G7 country that has a trade agreement with every other G7 country. At a time of rising protectionism, at a time when our economy is going through a crisis created by the coronavirus, the fact that we have secured—

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would like to thank the member for London—Fanshawe for that important question and for pointing out that we are talking about real people. We are talking about Canadians who are really suffering and struggling in what is the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Canada Emergency Student Benefit Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I would like to start by sharing a personal experience. As the daughter of a farmer, I worked on the family farm during the summer. Obviously, I worked without pay, because it was the family farm. I am well aware that it is in the interest of farms to hire students, as this benefits both farm owners and students.

Canada Emergency Student Benefit Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his excellent question and observation. The answer is obviously yes. The government analyzed the structure and the short-term impact of the CESB on students, to ensure that the measure meets its objectives while still encouraging students to work.

Canada Emergency Student Benefit Act  Mr. Speaker, the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis. Our government knows that Canadians and businesses are going through very trying times. That is why we acted so fast. We have implemented programs to support all Canadians affected by the pandemic. This unprecedented crisis demands an unprecedented response.

COVID-19 Pandemic  Mr. Chair, I want to thank my colleague for the question. I completely agree. I think that the coronavirus crisis has highlighted the importance of having high speed Internet across the country and especially in the regions where this service is still not available. I agree with my colleague that the Internet is important, not just for young people and workers who use it, but also for our seniors.

COVID-19 Pandemic  Madam Chair, the orphan wells cleanup was specifically focused on workers, because we are so aware of the concerns of energy workers. However, I absolutely share the concern of the member opposite on the particular challenges the energy sector is facing, and that is something the government is focused on.

COVID-19 Pandemic  Madam Chair, as the member opposite knows, policing is done principally by the provinces, although of course the RCMP plays an essential role. We are very aware of the fiscal strain that provinces and municipalities are facing and that is something that we are discussing with our provincial partners.
