Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all our witnesses for coming forward with very compelling testimony today. We hope that you and your families continue to be safe and healthy as this third wave hits.
My first question will be for Madame Drigola, Mr. Kelly and Monsieur Bourbeau because we are in the midst of a third wave, as you have all pointed out. Each of you has pointed out the importance of continuing supports.
We have a budget implementation act that basically does a victory lap. Within a very few weeks, we'll see massive slashing of supports. It just doesn't make sense at this critical time, and we've had witness after witness attest to that: that the government seems to be crying victory far too prematurely.
I'd like to know the consequences that you see in each of your organizations for businesses and restaurants if the government doesn't heed the call to amend the budget implementation act and put in place sector specific and more general measures that continue to assist businesses—small businesses, community businesses—as we continue to fight this pandemic.
