The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on the federal contribution to reducing poverty in Canada will continue today.

I want to thank all of our witnesses for taking time out of their busy schedules to be here. We started on the east coast in Halifax, Moncton, and Montreal. We're in Toronto today and tomorrow. We're hoping to be on the west coast and in the western part of Canada in the fall. So we want to thank you for taking the time to be here.

We will start with Laurel Rothman from Campaign 2000.

Welcome.
