I call this meeting officially to order.
Welcome to meeting number 31 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, and the first panel. Pursuant to the order of reference from the House of Commons, we are meeting on the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today’s meeting is taking place by video conference, and the proceedings will be made available on the House of Commons website.
I would certainly like to welcome all of our panellists. If you could try to hold your remarks to about five minutes, it will give a little more time for questions. This panel is about public transportation, but we'll likely veer a bit away from that from time to time.
To start with, we'll go with the Air Transport Association of Canada and John McKenna, president and chief executive officer.
The floor is yours, Mr. McKenna.
