Let us get started. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we continue our study on the federal contribution to reducing poverty in Canada.
We have four different organizations. We have Nicholas Gazzard from Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada. Welcome, and thank you for being here today.
We have Geoff Gillard from the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation. Welcome.
Where's Bruce? You're over there. Thank you. I have to look at my list here. It doesn't always add up with how you take your seats.
Geoff, I'm sorry about that. You're with the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association. Thank you for being here this morning.
Lynne Markell, with the Canadian Co-operative Association, thank you for being here.
Bruce, whom I mentioned, is with the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation.
Please try to keep your presentations under 10 minutes. We're hoping to have some rounds of questions as well.
Mr. Gazzard, thank you for being here. The floor is yours. You have 10 minutes, please.
