I'll call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 34 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to order of reference from the House, we are meeting on the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today's meeting, for your information, is taking place by video conference, and the proceedings will be made available through the House of Commons website.
With that, I would like to welcome all the witnesses here. We appreciate your coming and making your presentations. We do have eight groups and quite a number of witnesses, so I would ask you to try as seriously as you can to hold your remarks to five minutes. That will give us more time for questions.
With that, we'll start with Brandt Tractor Ltd., Gavin Semple, chairman of the board and Don Switzer, chief operating officer.
Go ahead, Mr. Semple.
