I call this meeting back to order. It is meeting number 59 of the Standing Committee on Finance.
We're very pleased to have with us here today, four witnesses from four different organizations.
First of all we have the Canadian Labour Congress, president Hassan Yussuff. Welcome back to the committee.
Secondly, we have the Public Health Agency of Canada. We have our chief public health officer, Mr. Gregory Taylor. Welcome to the committee.
From the Credit Union Central of Canada, we have the president and CEO, Ms. Martha Durdin; and we have Vancouver City Savings Credit Union's chief economist, Mr. Chris Dobrzanski. Welcome.
I want to welcome you all to the committee on behalf of all the members. Thank you for appearing on the budget implementation act. You will each have five minutes for your opening statements, and then we'll have questions from members.
We'll begin with the Canadian Labour Congress, please.
