We'll reconvene our meeting number 67.
As we ended our last session, we learned that our colleague, Mr. Arnold Chan, has passed away. We're going to take just a moment in consideration and remembrance of Arnold. He put up a long fight and passed away last night. Arnold never stopped. He worked right until the last minute. He never slowed down. He was always present. He put up a good fight.

Here we are on meeting number 67. We're studying Bill C-45. We welcome our guests and our panellists. We're pleased to have you. I think we're somewhere near the 80th panellist we've had so far. They've just been incredible panellists. They have brought great knowledge, background, and experience to us.
I'm going to introduce our panellists here today. From Brazeau Seller, we welcome Trina Fraser, partner. From the Department of Employment and Social Development, we welcome Brenda Baxter, director general, workplace directorate, labour program, and Eric Advokaat, senior director, occupational health and safety, workplace directorate. From Fasken Martineau, we welcome Norm Keith, partner.
Thank you very much.
The way we do this, each organization has a 10-minute opening statement, and then we go to questions after that. We'll start with Trina Fraser.
