Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I want to thank you all for your presentations, particularly those who have joined us from the west coast. As someone who's lived in British Columbia, I realize the challenge of presenting to a parliamentary committee located in Ottawa. Thank you for getting up so early.
Canada 150 is going to need a tremendous amount of volunteers. I'm assuming most of your organizations make ample use of volunteers and have a volunteer base. Could you all tell us a bit about the volunteer base you already have and whether we could possibly engage them in the Canada 150 sesquicentennial celebrations?
I'll start with Ms. Gaffney and we'll go around.
