The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

I call this meeting to order pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, September 29, 2009, regarding Bill C-50, an act to amend the Employment Insurance Act and to increase benefits.

I want to welcome the minister today. It's great to have you here. I know you're going to speak for a few minutes or so, and then we're going to have a chance to go around the room, as we normally do, and ask some questions on Bill C-50.

Thank you again, Minister, for taking time out of your busy schedule to be here. I'll turn the floor over to you now.
