Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We're now continuing our study to explore the potential of social finance in Canada.
Joining us for our final hour, we have, from the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation, Mr. Jean-Pierre Voyer, the president and chief executive officer; along with Ms. Sheila Currie, the principal research associate. Joining us by video conference from Edmonton, we have Dr. Barret Weber, the research manager with the Parkland Institute.
Each of the organizations will have up to 10 minutes to present. I will give you a warning at nine minutes with about a minute to go, if I'm able to interrupt. Then following that we will have questions from committee members.
Why don't we proceed with the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation?
