We will call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 36, panel number one, of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to our order of reference from the House, 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 via the House of Commons website.
For committee members, we've had lots of reading material for this meeting today: the COVID-19 report, which is getting longer by the week, and the report of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
We're fortunate to welcome to the committee today, on behalf of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Mr. Machin, president and CEO; and Michel Leduc, senior managing director and global head of public affairs and communications.
Mr. Machin, welcome, and thank you for coming. The floor is yours.
