Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome to all our witnesses this afternoon.
My first question is to Mr. Yussuff. In yesterday's budget, Minister Freeland announced commitments to support Canadian workers, including a federal minimum wage of $15. It also included investments in skilled training, and as we heard in earlier testimony, a plan to implement early learning and child care as well as the extension of the emergency benefits.
Can you talk about how crucial these are to both Canadian workers and the economic recovery, and what you've heard through your membership?
