In accordance with the order of reference of last November 22, the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities is today continuing its review of Bill C-303. We have witnesses here, in Ottawa, as well as one witness joining us by videoconference, Mr. Shanker, whom we also welcome. Each group has seven minutes for its presentation.
As we, the members, expect to be summoned as of 5:15 p.m. for a vote being held, I suggest that each member have two five-minute opportunities to go around the table, until the vote is held at 5:30 p.m.
Without further delay, I give the floor to our guests. You have seven minutes to give your presentations. If you agree, we will start with Mr. Shanker, who joins us by videoconference.
