Phil McColeman at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

I call the meeting to order. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome.

This is meeting number 4 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Today we are continuing our study on the subject matter of clauses 176 to 238, divisions 5 and 6 of part 3 of Bill C-4, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013 and other measures.

For our first hour today we have witnesses here from the department, Mr. Kin Choi and Ms. Brenda Baxter.

I will turn the floor over to our officials for their presentation.
