Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for joining us virtually.
I'll ask Mr. Bisson a few questions.
I represent the constituency of Pontiac, which includes a significant portion of Gatineau. I'm very interested in the compensation that the government may provide to businesses affected by the occupation of Ottawa.
My colleagues and I, including Steven MacKinnon, who is deeply involved in this matter, are pleased with all the work done by Minister Pascale St‑Onge. On March 7, she announced that Gatineau businesses could receive the same compensation as Ottawa businesses.
Mr. Bisson, you spoke about some of the businesses that suffered damage as a result of the occupation of Ottawa and that can access this assistance. You think that this will help them. I just want you to clarify how it will help them.
