Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), on our study on employability in Canada, I will commence now.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for being here.
As for how we're going to handle today's proceedings, we're going to get each of you to make a seven-minute opening statement. If you don't have enough time, hopefully in the questions and answers you'll be able to get out some of the additional information. We will then have a seven-minute question and answer first round, followed by five-minute question and answer rounds.
Ms. Strachan, perhaps you'd like to start off for us. We'll give you seven minutes to get started, and then we'll proceed to your right after that.
Thank you, Ms. Strachan, for being here this morning.
