I call the meeting to order.
This is the 73rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance this session. Our orders today are pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, June 20, 2012. We are continuing our study of Bill C-28, An Act to amend the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada Act.
Colleagues, we have four organizations before us today, and I want to thank all of these organizations for coming in, especially on very short notice. The committee did want to begin its work immediately this session with this bill.
First of all, from ABC Life Literacy Canada, we have the program manager, Mr. Mack Rogers. Welcome.
From the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education, we have the president, Mr. Gary Rabbior.
From Junior Achievement Canada, we have with us here today the president and acting CEO, Mr. Stephen Ashworth.
From Social and Enterprise Development Innovations, we have the program manager, Mr. Adam Fair.
Welcome to all of you.
For your opening statements you have between five and ten minutes, and we will go in the order I outlined. Then we'll have questions from members of all parties.
We will begin with Mr. Rogers, please.
