Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the projections obviously do get -- I think the Members will appreciate that they are being done continually, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were being redone every so many months. That will continue throughout the time of the pandemic because the pandemic has impacted on the government's position quite significantly, which is in no short order why we wound up with increasing the borrowing limit when we did in the first place.
I think at this point, Madam Chair, it would be appropriate to say that we will continue to do those updates periodically. Again, back in the spring session, we'll be back with another fiscal update at that time, and by which point, hopefully, there'll be a better sense of what's happening economically across Canada, across the world, and with respect to COVID-19's impacts thereon.
Broadly speaking, the Department of Finance and ECE are expecting between now and the time of business plans for next year to go through the government renewal process, and I will have more information on the state of the Health and Social Services position. I think by the time we are doing, if not the spring update, then certainly by the fall update, at that point, I am hopeful that will be in a position to give a better projection of where we are at, and hopefully one that's showing a number under the borrowing limit. If we're not, then at that point, to be at least having a sense of when that next update might come. Thank you, Madam Chair.
