I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. This is meeting number 34 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are now studying the impact of cancelling the long-form census.
I want to remind the committee members that we have two hours of witnesses; however, we have some committee business that we have to deal with, so we will be finishing with the witnesses 15 minutes before the end of the meeting.
For the first hour, we are very pleased to have witnesses representing the City of Toronto as well as the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association. I want to thank the witnesses for being here and for making yourselves available to us. Each one of the groups will have seven minutes to make a presentation, so we will have seven minutes from the City of Toronto and seven minutes from the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association.
I would ask you, especially because you are off-site, to keep an eye on the monitor, and I will let you know when you are close to your seven minutes. Because we are very tight on time, we try to keep all of the time limits pretty strictly adhered to.
We will begin with the City of Toronto. I believe we have Ms. Janet Davis, who is a councillor.
Please go ahead, Ms. Davis.
