I call the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance to order.
We are continuing our study of the retirement income security of Canadians, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2).
We have five presenters with us here this afternoon. We have, first of all, Ms. Melanie Johannink, Mr. Paul Hanrieder, and Monsieur Sylvain de Margerie. From the Public Service Alliance of Canada, we have Patty Ducharme, the national executive vice-president. From the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, we have
Mr. Renaud Gagné, Vice-President for Quebec.
We will have opening statements from each of you. We ask that you limit them, as close as possible, to seven minutes, and then we will go to questions from members.
We'll start with Ms. Johannink, please.
