Finance committee  That's another very big question. We do have folks who are experts on the energy industry and the specific policies of this government and previous governments. What I will say is that the prize for us is that people have good jobs, and those good jobs come in many different forms and in many different industries.

Finance committee  Yes, absolutely. I'll read right from our brief. Under the heading “Rebuild Canada's Fiscal Capacity”, it reads: Enhance Canada’s fiscal capacity through a number of tax changes including implementing a wealth tax, close tax loopholes, clamp down on tax havens and amend the Income Tax Act so that Canadian ad buys of American digital media are no longer tax deductible;

Finance committee  We have many asks, but two asks are for these two industries that are related to air transportation, the air transportation sector and the aerospace sector. In the air transportation sector, we're looking for a targeted air transportation recovery plan and a long-term plan that looks at making sure that we're creating decent work for people who are working in the sector, as well as looking at implementing some rapid testing and other measures to potentially reduce quarantine when we know that folks who are travelling are not infected with the coronavirus.

Finance committee  I can do some of it in two minutes.

Finance committee  People in Canada receive income in multiple ways, and income security supports are delivered in multiple ways. Each of those programs serves a different purpose. None of them should be abandoned. Many of them should be improved substantially. We saw with the implementation of CERB a recognition that $2,000 a month might be a kind of bear minimum to get people through a short-term crisis in their personal life, and many people were going through it at the same time.

Finance committee  Hi. Thank you. It's very nice to be here this afternoon. I really appreciate the opportunity to provide input into the 2021 budget consultations. Unifor is Canada's largest private sector union. We represent 315,000 members, in nearly every sector of the economy and in every province, so we have lots of recommendations.
