Thanks very much, Chair.
Thanks to all of the witnesses for being here today and for accommodating the changed timing for those of you who had to come in early on short notice. We appreciate that. Obviously, the result of that is that we still have the same amount of time for questioning, but there are more folks of whom we could ask questions. That makes it a bit more challenging. I won't get to all of you, but I thank you for your testimony, your time, and your advocacy on the various causes.
I will direct most of my questions to Mr. Kantzavelos.
I want to talk about my community of Etobicoke Centre. In my community, as in communities across this country, we have many professional dry cleaners. I've lived throughout the riding in different places over the years. I've frequented Gibson's Cleaners, Montgomery Alterations and Dry Cleaning, La Rose Cleaners, and others. One of the things I know from interacting with those folks, especially during the pandemic, as was the case with many businesses in different sectors of the economy, was how much their businesses were affected during the pandemic. You can imagine many people weren't having their clothes professionally cleaned during the pandemic.
Could you talk briefly about how the supports provided by the federal government helped those businesses during that time?
