I call the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance to order. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing our study on measures to enhance credit availability and the stability of the Canadian financial system.
We are scheduled to have four organizations with us here this morning. We have three here and we're awaiting the fourth.
From the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, we have the vice-president of insurance product and business development, Mr. Pierre Serré, and the treasurer, Mr. Mark Chamie. From the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, we have Mr. Gary Rabbior, the president. As an individual we have Mr. Ian Lee, MBA program director for the Sprott School of Business from Carleton University.
We are expecting Option consommateurs.
We will begin with CMHC. We'll have a five-minute opening presentation from each organization and then we'll go to questions from members.
Mr. Serré, will you begin?
