Ed Komarnicki at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

I will call the meeting to order.

I know the committee has been doing very well so far in terms of cooperation. I wonder if I can ask the committee's indulgence for one further point. If we change from our regular rounds of five minutes to rounds of seven minutes each, and we went one complete round, we would be finishing here near 5:30 and, of course, many have to leave at 5:30.

So would the committee be agreeable to deviating from our regular practice to seven-minute rounds? Everybody would get one round and then we'd be done.

I see agreement. We won't hesitate too much longer.

I might mention that you will have five to seven minutes to present. If you go a little longer, we'll be okay with that and then there will be rounds of seven minutes of questioning from each of the parties.

We'll start with you, Ms. Munoz. Go ahead, please.
