We'll officially call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 32, panel one of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to the order of reference from the House, we're meeting on the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today's meeting, for everyone's information, is taking place by video conference, and the proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
With that, I want to welcome all the witnesses here today.
Your information is very valuable, certainly to the finance committee and certainly to Canadians. I would ask, if you could, since we have seven witnesses, to keep it fairly close to five minutes. It gives us more time for questions.
We'll start with the Canadian Gas Association, Timothy Egan, president and chief executive officer.
Welcome, Timothy. The floor is yours.
