We're now in panel number two of meeting number 21 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, and we're operating under the order of reference of Tuesday, March 24, on the government's response to the COVID-19 crisis and pandemic. We are continuing to look at constructive criticism, I guess you could say, in areas where there needs to be greater solutions as we move ahead to try get through the pandemic and get the economy back to near normal again, hopefully, at some point.
With that, we'll start with the witnesses. I would ask witnesses to try to hold their presentations to about five minutes. That will give us more time to delve into the issues from the members' perspectives.
Starting us off, as an individual and a business owner, we have Mr. Elsaadi.
Mr. Elsaadi, the floor is yours.
