I'll go a little bit fast here. I appreciate that most people have been pretty straightforward in indicating that they're not public health experts. That would include yours truly.
Mr. Agnew, I'll ask you some questions first, since I'm most familiar with you and you're most familiar with this committee. It's good to see you again.
You start out by saying that obviously businesses in Canada were heavily affected by COVID. That's a fair statement, right? I think Mr. MacLachlan indicated that a lot of supports were put in place during COVID, including the wage subsidy, CEBA and things like that, which helped keep some businesses afloat and retain workers. That's fair?
