The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

I call this meeting to order.

Pursuant to the adoption of the committee's motion on September 21 and to clause 108 of the Standing Orders, the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities will commence its study on the department's plans and priorities.

Minister Blackburn, we'd like to thank you very much for coming today. We understand how busy you are. If you'd like to take some time now for your opening remarks and for the introduction of those who are with you, later we'll ask some questions.
