Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. This is meeting 48 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. We're continuing today with our study exploring the potential of social finance in Canada.
Here to provide testimony for our first hour, we are pleased to have with us Mr. Naveed Chaudhry, executive director of the Peel Multicultural Council, and Mr. Jagdeep Kailey, the manager of settlement services. From the Ottawa United Way, we have Ms. Carole Gagnon, vice-president of community service. Finally, from the Eden Community Food Bank, we have Mr. Bill Crawford, the executive director, and Mr. Peter Costello, the director of operations in food skills.
After the first hour of witnesses, we will have an hour of committee business.
Let's begin. Each of your organizations has up to 10 minutes to present. I'll have you on a clock and I'll give you a one-minute warning when you are approaching your 10-minute maximum.
Why don't we proceed with whoever is going to present from the Peel Multicultural Council?
