We'll bring the meeting to order.
We're starting our study on the skills development in rural and remote communities during a time of fiscal restraint.
We have three presenters today: our first presentation is by the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, the second is by the Department of Industry, and the third is by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
After all three have presented, we'll open it up to a seven-minute round of questions. We'll probably break for five or ten minutes somewhere midway before that, and then adjourn at 5:30.
With that, I'll turn it over to Louis Beauséjour.
