Okay, everyone, we want to have as much time with the minister as possible, so let's come to order, please.
Welcome back.
It's my privilege and honour to welcome the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Jean-Yves Duclos. Thank you so much for being here today, sir.
I understand you're accompanied by Kathryn McDade, senior assistant deputy minister, income security and social development branch with ESDC. Welcome as well, and thank you for being here at the onset of what I expect to be a very fruitful study.
We just heard from the author of M-106, MP Marc Serré, and we're looking forward to hearing your perspective, sir. We're giving you the next 10 minutes to introduce.
