Good morning, everyone.
I would like to call to order meeting number 35 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Pursuant to Standing Order 108, we are commencing our study of the federal support measures to adoptive parents.
We're really happy to have officials from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration as well as the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development here with us today. Thank you very much for being here.
We've just begun our study. We know there are a lot of questions around the room on a lot of different areas, so we wanted to bring you folks in to get us started on the right foot. Thank you for being here.
We have your presentations in front of us. It looks like we'll have one presentation from each of the departments, and then we'll have a chance to ask you questions.
Maybe we will begin this morning with Mr. Griffith. Are you doing a presentation with Mr. Paquette?
