Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to begin by welcoming and thanking all the witnesses for their presentations and answers to questions. We have a really interesting panel. I sincerely hope that the solutions put forward will be taken up by the government to better respond to the measures generated by the pandemic.
I'd like to welcome my colleague Pam Damoff, who is with us today.
Since my time is limited, my questions will be for the representatives of the Association des stations de ski du Québec and Mr. Ross, from the Collectif Échec aux paradis fiscaux. I also have a second round. I hope to be able to ask the essential questions during this precious time.
Mr. Juneau, thank you for your presentation. I clearly understood the importance of extending the Canada emergency wage subsidy. I also learned that loans are accumulating and that, although they are useful, the level of debt is becoming unsustainable. So there have to be other measures besides loans. I also learned of the difficulty that ski resorts are experiencing because they are affiliated with municipalities and therefore don't have access to these subsidies because of an unfortunate rule. This should be changed.
I'll ask you to go back to your requests in general, but I would first like to know something. You said that there was a ski season. How did that work out this year, given the health restrictions? Was it profitable, or was it more about not losing business? The restaurants at the ski resorts were closed and there was no access inside. What did it look like?
