Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to our guests, and welcome to the students this afternoon.

My riding is the city of Saint John—Rothesay and we do lead the country, as a city, in child poverty, but I have to say that, listening to your presentations, we pale in comparison to the challenges you face.

If the committee is okay with it, I would like to share some of my time to ask some questions today with MP Tootoo.

Is everybody okay with that?
