Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone, on day 52 of COVID-19. It gives me great pleasure to be on the finance committee for this special meeting. I actually sit on the heritage committee, and have for years. I'm back on it again this year. I want to wish all the arts, culture and sports organizations all the best as we move forward. This is an unprecedented time, I know, for all eight of you. How we come out of this will be the big story.
For full disclosure, I spent 40 years as a sports broadcaster at CTV Saskatoon. I covered the Saskatchewan Roughriders for decades. I was involved in the early 1970s when the club was nearly bankrupt, and took part in many telethons to keep the team floating. In 2015 I became a member of Parliament for Saskatoon—Grasswood. Obviously, my first set of questions will go to the CFL commissioner, Randy Ambrosie.
Thank you, Randy, for testifying today in front of the finance committee. Unfortunately, some of your comments today had a lot of holes in them. First of all, is it a bailout or a loan that you're asking for from the Government of Canada in terms of the first $30 million?
