I call this meeting to order. This is the 58th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance.
Before we get to the orders, I want to make sure colleagues know that tomorrow's schedule has been changed somewhat. We do have the meeting tomorrow morning from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but we do not have the meeting in the afternoon. The witnesses in fact have been moved from the afternoon to the morning.
There will be no meeting tomorrow afternoon. Please convey that to all of your colleagues. Thank you.
We have two panels here this afternoon. This will be a challenge, because we have votes at 5:30, colleagues.
The first panel is from 3:30 to 5 p.m., continuing our pre-budget consultations. We have with us Heritage Canada Foundation, Volunteer Canada, the Canadian Association of Social Workers, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, the Canadian Urban Transit Association, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, and the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada.
We will have organizations present in that order. You each have a maximum of five minutes for an opening statement. Then we'll go to questions from members.
We'll start with Ms. Bull, please.
