Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on the federal contribution to reducing poverty in Canada will continue today, and I want to thank the witnesses for taking time out of their busy schedules to be here.
With us today we have Andrew Lynk from the Canadian Paediatric Society. We have Jody Dallaire from the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, as well as Leilani Farha from the Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action. I want to thank all of you for being here today and taking the time.
We're going to look at a presentation from each of you for up to 10 minutes. We'll start with you, Jody, and then we'll move across the table, then we'll start with a couple of rounds of questions. The first round will be seven minutes for questions and answers from the members, and we'll follow with a second round of five minutes, so if there are things on which you've been able to pique the curiosity of the members, I'm sure they'll ask you, or maybe they'll want to follow up on something you've suggested as we move forward.
Why don't we just get started. Jody, I'm going to start with you. You have 10 minutes for your presentation. Thank you very much.
