We'll call the meeting to order.
Today will be another set of hearings under Standing Order 83.1, pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2019 budget.
I want to thank all of the witnesses for coming and also thank those who have submitted submissions. Members have them on their iPads and they may be referring to their iPads. They're not playing games on their iPads; they're looking at those submissions—we assume.
Anyway, welcome.
We'll start with Canada Without Poverty and Ms. McLachlan and Ms. Biss.
