Thank you, Mr. Chair and honourable members.
I'm the executive director and general counsel of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. I'm joined today by PIAC's articling student Amy Hill. For the technicians and members, we will be sharing the speaking.
PIAC is a national not-for-profit and registered charity. We provide legal and research services on behalf of consumer interests—in particular, vulnerable consumer interests—concerning the provision of important public services and products. PIAC has been active in the field of consumer protection and policy for over 40 years.
Amy.
