I call this meeting to order pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study on employability in Canada.
I do want to thank our witnesses for coming out today. Thank you for taking the time.
I know, Mr. Cardozo, you had some words to speak of in The Hill Times about how important this study was. So we appreciate your being here as well to share some of your wisdom and insight with us.
We'd ask that you keep your opening comments to seven minutes each so that we can get through with some questions and answers from all the parties concerned.
Mr. Cardozo, I believe you're going to lead off, for seven minutes, please.
