Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and to the motion adopted on May 31, the committee will now commence its study on the Canada summer jobs program.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank the officials--Ms. Jackson, Ms. Charette, and Ms. Shanks--who've come in today to talk to us. I believe they have an opening presentation.
We'll have you guys do your opening presentation--if people would put their BlackBerrys on mute, that would be great--and then we'll try to get in a couple of rounds of questions, probably two five-minute rounds so that we can get in as many questions as we can. We have a couple of other things on our agenda this morning, so we will be breaking promptly at 10 o'clock.
Ms. Charette, I believe you have an opening statement.
