The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

I call the meeting to order.

Welcome. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are going to continue our study of the federal contribution to reducing poverty in Canada.

I want to thank all my guests and witnesses for being here today.

How long are your presentations, seven to ten minutes? Okay. We'll get started, and then we'll have questions afterwards. We will have two rounds of questions--a first round of seven minutes, and an additional round of five minutes, questions and answers.

I will turn it over to Terry Anne Boyles, from the Association of Canadian Community Colleges.

Terry Anne, thank you for being here. The floor is yours.
