This isn't the first time she's expected a steep incline. Last time we saw a steep decline.

Forecasting a steep increase to meet quarterly obligations is more a comment on how poor the deliveries have been so far and how much more difficult reaching the quarterly obligations will be.

[tunnelvision]

Wasn’t it supposed to ramp up this week? Hmmm

[eggbert]

Procurement and having it on the ground in canada are very different things.

[SonicPhonic]

"Q1...Q2 and Q3.." Can we please be given a month and date?

[davidjohnson-fwco]

no confidence in this Procurement Minister!

[cliftonboyz]

Excellent news well received by the Canadian business of reserved optimism?

[iFish]

I love when David gets to host. He has a whimsical way of emoting and it’s cute

Why are so many people negative over good news...I believe they are doing their best and bumps in the road were expected. Wear your mask and wait your turn....I am....

[AsellusPrimus]

At this point I think it's better not to hold your breath and watch the news every day... Expect things to be the way they are for a while and be pleasantly surprised if and when something changes.

Until we see it there is no way to believe this inept government.

It is amazing to me that these Liberal ministers still seem to not be understanding that they are incompetent, their job is not just a figure-head position, and they actually need to do some work. Goodness I hope they don't get another chance at this, and an adult government can take over.

[rtordon]

Given how poorly they’ve done to date they really have no where to go but

[karmas]

I want a guy in s suit as minister.. She looks like real estate sales

[Abdullahahmad]

Incompetence at every level. What a surprise that they waste their time meeting with “business leaders” (billionaires) who have amassed wealth during the pandemic, instead of working on helping citizens. Of course it’s necessary when these people are seeing a portion of that new wealth.

[twincomanchepa]

I'm honestly so concerned. Can we see a cure coming very soon??

[colcol]

Ok 1 question. Why was a person that clearly cant do her job properly invited to any meeting??,

[enzobordone]

If I messed up this much in my job- I’d be fired- this lady needs to be fired- she failed and she failed

[jismjacket]

The CBC and Canada are a joke!
And not the "haha" funny either.

[willysmith]

She is trying to confuse listeners by using words like Q1 and Q2 etc
