I thank Mr. Mulvey. I do not wish to be rude but opening statements normally take about ten minutes to give the members an opportunity to ask questions. I ask Mr. Treacy to keep his opening statement extremely brief and related to the impact of Covid-19, which is the theme for today. If he does not have enough time to finish it I am sure it will be covered with the members anyway. He might take three to four minutes and we will then move on to the members.
