I'd like to call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on employability in Canada, I'd like to take this second to thank all the witnesses for being here today. This is a very important issue that we face across the country, and what we've been doing is starting here on the east coast. We'll be finishing our swing this week, and then in a couple of weeks we'll be heading out west to do that as well. We want to thank you very much, as I said, for being here.
We're going to start with Ms. Keddy for seven minutes. Then we'll start with the first round of questions and answers for seven minutes and a second round of five minutes. That's the way we'll work today.
Seven minutes goes by pretty quickly, so do your best to get it all in. I will give you a one-minute sign. As I said, some of the previous presenters spent a couple of minutes talking about their organization. We're really looking for recommendations and solutions, so if you think you need to cut anything, we'd appreciate if you'd cut on the organization and we'll get it out of the background information.
As the last thing, if you've brought any anything that needs to be translated, it will be translated in due course and sent out to the committee members.
Without any more of my preamble, Ms. Keddy, seven minutes, please.
