Good morning.
As it is 8:45, we will begin the 38th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates immediately.
Today, we will hear from several witnesses who will speak about Bill C-21.
During our last meeting, we heard from the President of Treasury Board. Today, we will hear from experts who will provide some clarification on the issue of administrative red tape that burdens businesses. Each witness will have 10 minutes to present.
We will begin with Ms. Jones and Ms. Moreau, who are here on behalf of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. We will then move on to Ms. Coombs, from the Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association, then to Mr. Aylward and Mr. West, for the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Following the three presentations, committee members will ask questions of the witnesses, until 9:45.
Without further ado, I give the floor to Ms. Jones and Ms. Moreau.
Thank you so much for being with us this morning.
