Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thanks, folks, for being here and sharing your expertise with us.
My first question is for Mr. Lemaire.
First off, thank you for the critical service that your members do for Canada. All sectors have been impacted by COVID-19, and certainly none more than yours.
How have your members and your sector adjusted to all of the various public health measures, like social distancing, etc.?
I was going to ask you how government could help. I know that during this meeting the Prime Minister announced $252 million for certainly much of your sector. Maybe you could speak to that. I don't know how much you've been briefed on that, as that happened while we've been here in committee, but I'm sure you have a computer or phone open and you're getting some details on that. Maybe you could chat a bit about how you've been impacted, how your sector has been affected and how this government assistance might help.
