Before we get started with our witnesses, we were to meet with Benjamin Fulton on the lawn a few moments ago, but unfortunately, he is running behind. He is going to be here, so we can do a couple of things. When he gets here, I can recognize him, and we can have him speak—we'll just interrupt the witnesses—or we can push it to the end. We are going to do a photo op at 5:40 with Mr. Fulton. We can discuss where we want to do that. It's going to be pretty dark if we do it outside, so we could do it inside somewhere. We can chat about that later. I just wanted folks to know that we are still expecting his attendance.
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 we have the final of three panels held on the subject of housing and aging in place. I'll just quickly remind everyone that the deadline to submit a brief for this report is tomorrow at midnight.
I'm going to introduce our incredible panel.
Appearing as an individual, we have Donald Shiner, professor, Atlantic Seniors Housing Research Alliance, Mount Saint Vincent University.
From the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, we have Nicola MacNaughton, president, and Janet Craik, executive director.
From Hospice Care Ottawa, we have Lisa Sullivan, executive director.
From Revera Inc., we have Ron Pike. Is it Ron Pike who's with us today?
