Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Just to begin, as the shadow minister for small business, I want to focus my questions on some of our witnesses who represent small business members. I'll maybe start with Monsieur Côté.
Is it fair to say that while many of your members have been assisted by the government programs that have been designed to keep people employed and to keep businesses from immediate collapse in assisting with expenses like rent, for most of them, there's just no substitute for having their customers back? Would you comment on the necessity of a plan for a safe and permanent reopening of the economy?
