Yes, it wasn't that bad because you were at home.
Welcome to everyone.
From the City of London, we have Sandra Datars Bere, managing director of housing, social services, and Dearness Home. Welcome. I went to high school in London.
From Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre we have Victor Willis, executive director. From the Social Planning and Research Council of Hamilton we have Deirdre Pike, senior social planner, and Alana Baltzar, volunteer for the Hamilton organizing for poverty elimination project. From Good Shepherd, we have Alan Whittle, director of community relations and planning.
Welcome to all of you. We have a full panel and lots of questions for all of you. We'll keep the introductory comments to seven minutes. If you see this light go on, that's my very not-so-subtle way of saying that time is up. This will be during the introduction as well as during the questions. We have simultaneous interpretation available if needed.
We'll get started right away with Sandra Datars Bere from the City of London.
