I'd like to make a few comments quickly for the benefit of the new witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. With regard to interpretation for those on Zoom, you have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel. I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Now I'd like to welcome our witnesses for the second panel.
As an individual, we have Armine Yalnizyan, director of research at the Community Social Planning Council of Toronto. From the Agri-Food Analytics Lab, we have Sylvain Charlebois—he's the director and a professor there—and from the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada, we have Timothy Ross, executive director.
We'll start with Ms. Yalnizyan for five minutes, please, for her opening remarks.
