Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
I call the meeting to order. This is meeting number 14 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Today is Tuesday, March 4, 2014, and we are continuing our study concerning opportunities for aboriginal persons in the workforce.
Today we have another split panel of witnesses to provide testimony.
For our first hour we are joined by Ms. Denise Amyot, president and chief executive officer of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, and Anna Toneguzzo, who is the government relations and policy research manager with the Association of Canadian Community Colleges.
From the Canadian Electricity Association we are joined by Mr. Jim Burpee, president and chief executive officer.
We also have Mr. Joe Heil, who is the director of first nations and Métis relations at Ontario Power Generation Inc.
We welcome our witnesses.
I will now turn the floor over to our witnesses for their 10-minute opening presentations.
I believe Mr. Burpee and Mr. Heil are going to split their time.
We will start with Ms. Amyot, for 10 minutes.
