We are going to resume this meeting for our final hour.
I would like to begin by welcoming our witnesses.
We have with us, from the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence, Mr. James Janeiro, director of policy and government relations; from the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, Maureen Haan, president and CEO; from Community Living Toronto, Brad Saunders, chief executive officer; and from March of Dimes Canada, Amanda MacKenzie, national director, public affairs, advocacy and strategic communications, and Jeff Willbond, chief accessibility officer.
I would like to remind participants of the following points.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking.
For those participating via video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your microphone, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation: floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
I will remind you that questions can be posed in either official language. Therefore, if you require interpretation, please set up your earpiece now so that we can use the time we have effectively.
As a reminder, all comments should be addressed through the chair.
You will each have five minutes for your opening remarks.
We will begin with Mr. Janeiro from the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence.
