I would like to call this meeting to order, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), for a study on employability in Canada.
I would like to welcome all our guests and thank them for being here.
As everyone is probably aware, we've been conducting a study on employability. That has been broad-reaching. We also are looking at seasonal work, older workers, and the whole spectrum of what affects employability in Canada. We were in St. John's, Halifax, and Montreal this week, in Toronto today, and we're heading out west in a couple of weeks. This is something that all parties unanimously agree is very important, which is why we are conducting the study moving forward.
So thank you very much for being here. We're going to give each person, each group, seven minutes to present. We're going to have a first round of questions of seven minutes, a second round of five minutes, and as long as time permits. I would ask you to try to stick to the seven minutes. I'll let you know at one minute that your time is coming to a close.
Ms. Cutler and Mr. Gleberzon, we'll start with you. Again, thank you very much for being here. It's good to see you guys.
