Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, as we continue the second hour of our meeting. We're continuing this hour with our study on the renewal of the labour market development agreements.
Joining us from the National Association of Career Colleges is their chief operating officer, Mr. Serge Buy; and from the British Columbia Construction Association, we have Mr. Manley McLachlan, president, and Mr. Paul Mitchell, special projects manager from the skilled trades employment program.
I'll just note that we will recess at 10:30 to move in camera for consideration of the draft report we have in front of us on opportunities for aboriginal persons in the workforce.
Gentlemen, each association or each representation has a 10-minute presentation.
Perhaps we could start with you, Mr. Buy, for your 10 minutes.
