Welcome back, everybody. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are getting started again with our experiential learning study on pathways to employment for Canadian youth. This hour is specifically dedicated to volunteerism, and we're very pleased to have with us via video conference, as an individual, Wolfgang Lehmann, who is associate professor in the department of sociology at Western University. Welcome.
Also joining us is Luisa Atkinson, who is director of first nation housing at the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Welcome to you, and to Paula Speevak, president and chief executive officer of Volunteer Canada.
Each of you will have seven minutes for opening remarks followed by a couple of rounds of questions from my colleagues. First up we have Mr. Wolfgang Lehmann. The next seven minutes are all yours, sir.
