I call this meeting back to order. This is meeting number four of the Standing Committee on Finance.
I want to welcome our second panel to the table. I appreciate all of you coming in. I thank you for your patience with respect to the unanticipated vote. I also am led to believe we will have a vote at about 6:40 p.m. Hopefully, we can go until about 6:30, but we'll try to push it as far as we can.
With us we have the Assembly of First Nations. We have Regional Chief Googoo. Welcome to the committee.
From the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, we have the board chair, Amanda Nielsen. Welcome.
From the Canadian Medical Association, we have the vice-president, research and policy, Mr. Owen Adams.
From the Canadian Nurses Association, we have the CEO, Rachel Bard.
From the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec, we have Monsieur Jonathan Bouchard. Bienvenue à ce comité.
From Imagine Canada, we have Ms. Michelle Gauthier, vice-president, public policy and outreach.
Welcome to all of you. You have a maximum of five minutes for your opening statement. We'll begin with the AFN, please.
