The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

I'd like to call this meeting to order, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study of employability in Canada.

I want to thank everyone for being out here today. It's great to see people come out to talk to us about employability issues and what's important in their sectors in particular areas.

We'll have each organization present for seven minutes, and then we'll have all members ask questions for a first round of seven minutes and a second round of five minutes. There's no need to touch the microphones; they will come on and off.

Ms. White, would you like to start?
