Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Fleury, you commented in your opening that just at the Rideau Centre some 300 businesses and 1,500 employees were affected. Is that correct?

But you also represent the ByWard Market. I presume the number of businesses, the number of employers, was actually greater than that if you include businesses that were shut down during this so-called “freedom convoy” for the three weeks-plus that it endured. Is that correct?

See context to find out what was said next.
