Colleagues, we will continue with the fourth panel today, continuing our pre-budget consultations here in Toronto, the ninth of the nine cities we are visiting in our cross-country travels.
We have with us here for the fourth panel today a number of organizations. We have the Canadian Paraplegic Association; Mr. Richard St. Denis, as an individual; the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario; the Victorian Order of Nurses; the Canadian National Institute for the Blind; and Social Innovation Generation.
We'll ask each of you to give an opening statement of no more than five minutes, and then we'll have questions from members.
We'll start with Mr. Drewett.
