Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the G-8 summit, with a focus on the maternal and child health initiative.
Welcome to meeting 16.
To our witnesses here today, we want to thank you very much for taking the time to be here. We'll start with Ms. Vandenberg, from World Vision Canada, then we'll move to Teresa Chiesa from CARE Canada, Mr. Fox from Oxfam Canada, and Clare Demerse from the Pembina Institute. We'll finish off with Fraser Reilly-King, from the Halifax Initiative Coalition.
Please try to keep your comments to ten minutes. We'll then have some time to ask questions and get answers.
I'll start with you, Ms. Vandenberg. You have ten minutes. Then we'll go across and start with our questions and answers.
Once again, thank you for being here today. The floor is yours.
