Seeing as we're short on time, we'll call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 36 of the House of Commons 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'll be having the minister here today. The biweekly report has been sent to the committee.
With the minister, we have the Canadian Development Investment Corporation, the Canada Revenue Agency, the Department of Employment and Social Development, the Department of Finance and Global Affairs Canada.
We've just had the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board here, and I couldn't help but think of when we were going through the testing of all those earphones that have been sent out to representatives. I hope they invest in the company that sells these earphones, because there are a lot of them going out.
Minister, welcome. It's great to see you in person, at least on the screen. Thank you for coming. The floor is yours.
