Hello, everyone. We're going to call this meeting to order. The orders of the day are to look at supplementary estimates (C) for 2009-10, as well as the main estimates for 2010-11.

We have with us today officials from the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development: Scott Streiner, assistant deputy minister for the labour program; Liseanne Forand, senior associate deputy minister; Karen Jackson, associate deputy minister; and Michael Saucier, acting chief financial officer.

Welcome.

We also have with us, from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Sharon Matthews, vice-president, and Michel Tremblay, director of financial operations.

Welcome to our committee.

We are so glad you're here. I believe that three of you will be presenting: Mr. Streiner, Ms. Forand, and Ms. Matthews. You will each have five minutes to present and then we will begin our round of questions.

We will begin with Mr. Streiner, please.
