We will call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 45 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the committee's motion adopted on Tuesday, April 27, the committee is meeting to study the subject matter of Bill C-30, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 19, 2021 and other measures.
Today's meeting is taking place in the hybrid format pursuant to the House Order of January 25. On your screen you will see everyone, but the system only shows the person who is speaking. That's the system we're operating under.
With that, we'll go immediately to witnesses. I want to thank everyone for coming, some of whom I know on short notice, as we're trying to pile a lot of witnesses in this week. I would ask if you could keep your remarks to about five minutes. That will give us more time for rounds of questions.
We will start with the Association of Day Care Operators of Ontario and Ms. Hannen, executive director.
Andrea, go ahead.
