Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome, everyone, to the HUMA committee. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, May 4, 2017, the committee is resuming its study of advancing inclusion and quality of life for Canadian seniors.
Today is the third of three panels that will be held on the subject of income security for vulnerable seniors. We have a very large panel today.
Before I introduce the panel, I will let you know that we will likely be interrupted by votes at about 5:15, just so that you can be prepared for that. Also, if you see me raise my pencil or my finger, it means you have approximately one minute left before I have to cut you off.
Mark?
