Good afternoon, everyone. I would like to call to order meeting 13 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Pursuant to the order from Wednesday, March 3, we will be considering Bill C-308.
We want to welcome two witnesses this afternoon from the Canadian Labour Congress: Barbara Byers, executive vice-president, and Sylvain Schetagne, senior economist, social and economic policy department.
Welcome. We're glad to have you here. You'll have 10 minutes to present and then we'll have questions from the committee members.
