Welcome, everybody.
It's an absolute pleasure to be here. This is our second panel today. For those of you who weren't here at the very beginning, I'll just let you know that we got in at about 1:30 last night and were up early this morning. If we start to nod off, please forgive us, but you will have our undivided attention for the next hour and a half.
I'm very happy to welcome, from Housing Alternatives Inc., Kit Hickey, executive director. We also have Jody Kliffer, appearing as an individual. From The ONE Change Inc., we have Anthony Dickinson, president. From Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation, we have Althea Arsenault, replacing Stéphane Leclair, manager, resource development. Also appearing as an individual, we have Daniel Shoag—Karen's new best friend—assistant professor at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Welcome, everybody. It's a pleasure to be here. We are moving forward on our poverty reduction strategy study. We are focused in this cross-country trip on the quadrants of housing and neighbourhoods. I'm very pleased to see everybody here.
We'll get started. Each speaker will have approximately seven minutes. If we get close to the seven-minute mark, I'll just raise my hand. I'm not telling you to stop, just to start to wrap things up.
From Housing Alternatives Inc., we'll have Kit Hickey, please.
The next seven minutes are yours.
