We'll recommence.
We are giving priority to our panel. Welcome, panellists. Thank you so much for taking the time. Thank you for the work you put into preparing your briefs. Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to participate with you in making recommendations to the upcoming federal budget. It's wonderful to see you. It's a great day and it's nice to have you here with us.
We are going to hold you to the times that we've asked you to stick to on your presentations because we want to make sure we allow time for exchanges with the panel members thereafter, and also because some of these people, believe it or not, after having flown 10,000 miles this week, have to fly again to get home for the Thanksgiving weekend. So we're going to start right away and get right into it.
We'll begin with Donna Riddell, from the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada. Welcome, Donna. You have two and a half minutes. I'll give you a sign when you have a minute to go, just so I don't have to cut you off in mid-sentence. When I indicate your time is almost over, just wind up your presentation, and we'll move on, so that everybody has a chance.
Thank you, Donna, and welcome.
