We'll reconvene. The meeting is called to order.
This is the second panel of meeting number 35 of the Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to the order of reference from the House, we are meeting on the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We're pleased to have with us, for the next hour and a half, from the Business Development Bank of Canada, Mr. Denham, president and CEO; Jérôme Nycz, executive vice-president, BDC Capital; and Karen Kastner, vice-president, partnerships and government relations.
Welcome, folks. If you could hold your remarks to 10 minutes or thereabouts, that'll give us ample time for the committee to go to questions.
I imagine, Mr. Denham, that you are leading the presentation and we'll go from there.
Welcome.
