I call the meeting to order. This the second panel of meeting number 32 of the finance committee. As everyone on this delegation certainly knows, we're meeting on the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We thank you for the biweekly report, which is getting longer every two weeks. That's a sure thing.
To start off, we have the pleasure of having with us, for the first 45 minutes, Minister Fortier, who's the Minister of Middle Class Prosperity and Associate Minister of Finance.
Minister, we'll go to your opening remarks, and then we'll go to a series of questions. Following that, we'll meet with finance officials.
The floor is yours. Welcome.
