Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Pilon and Mr. Stewart, for being here and for answering our questions today. You have been very fulsome in your answers, so I apologize in advance if some of these questions become a little redundant.
I'll take you back to 2020, when we were in the midst of a pandemic. In particular, the international trade and small business department suddenly had a lot of programs to administer across the country. I think 900,000 businesses took the Canada emergency business loan.
Can you talk about the importance, during that time of a global pandemic, of the department having to suddenly communicate these new programs to businesses? Maybe you could comment on how big that task was. It had these new programs, and it needed to let people know about their existence and how they worked.
