I call this meeting to order. This is the 79th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to Standing Order 83.1, we are continuing our pre-budget consultations for 2012.
We have again, colleagues, two panels today. In the first panel we have the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, the Canadian Association of Community Health Centres, and Financial Executives International Canada. By video conference, we have the Council of Canadians with Disabilities.
We will start with the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. You each have five minutes for an opening statement, and we will make our way down the list.
