If we can start shortly, I'd appreciate it. We'll call the meeting to order.
We have a new panel with us today. For the Council of Deans of Trades and Apprenticeship Canada, we have Henry Reiser, director, Yukon and British Columbia; and dean, faculty of trades and technology, Kwantlen Polytechnic University. We'll hear from you first.
Then we have with us Nobina Robinson, chief executive officer, Polytechnics Canada, along with the director, Ken Doyle, and we'll be hearing from you.
We also have with us Anna Toneguzzo, from government relations and policy research of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, who will present.
We've added to our panel representatives from the Mohawk College. They weren't on our panel, but they've travelled a distance to be here and so we'll certainly welcome and hear from Ali Ghiassi and Piero Cherubini.
I see we've moved the order a bit. Why don't we present in the way everybody is seated? We'll start with Mohawk College. They weren't scheduled to be here. We will obviously shorten our questioning and we may not get to the last round, but I thought it was appropriate that we do this.
I've spoken to Mr. Cuzner, who graciously agreed to give up his round if necessary to make sure that happened.
