Good morning, everybody.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, June 13, 2016, the committee is resuming its study on poverty reduction strategies. This is meeting three of five of the first phase of the study on government-administered savings and entitlement programs.
We are joined today by Gwendolyn Piller, through video conference from Oakville, Ontario.
From CARP we have Wanda Morris, chief operating officer and vice-president of advocacy, and Wade Poziomka. Wade is not going to sit at the table, but we'll recognize him anyway.
From the Canadian Taxpayers Federation we have Aaron Wudrick. Welcome back. I believe this is your third visit.
From Working Canadians we have Catherine Swift, president, I believe on video conference.
From Brad Brain Financial Planning we have Brad Brain, registered financial planner, from Fort St. John.
Welcome to all. We'll try to keep our opening comments to five minutes. I apologize to all of you in advance. We will be cutting things a little close because of votes today. We'll have to cut things off at about the hour mark. When the bells start ringing, I'll be looking for unanimous consent to continue for a bit longer.
We'll get started with you, Brad.
