Good morning, everyone.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Friday, November 2, 2018, the committee is resuming its study of motion M-190, labour shortages of the greater Toronto and Hamilton area.
Today we are pleased that the committee will be hearing from three different witnesses.
From the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, we have Monique Moreau, Vice-President for National Affairs; and Emilie Hayes, Policy Analyst, National Affairs. From the Ontario Construction Secretariat, we have Robert Bronk, Chief Executive Officer. From the Toronto Community Benefits Network we have Rosemarie Powell, Executive Director.
Welcome to all of you. Each of you will have seven minutes for opening remarks. If you are going over time, I will wave. Don't panic; just try to wrap up your comments.
Starting us off this morning, from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, is Monique Moreau.
