I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number four of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House of Commons order of September 23, 2020. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. Just so that you are aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking rather than the entirety of the committee.
To ensure an orderly meeting, I'd like to outline a few rules to follow.
First, members and witnesses may speak in the official language of their choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting. You have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of floor, English or French. Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you're on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. I remind you that all comments by members should be addressed through the chair, and when you're not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses. From the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, we have Romy Bowers, senior vice-president, client solutions; and Lindsay Neeley, director, housing solutions, indigenous and the north. From the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, we have Chantal Marin-Comeau, director general, reconciliation secretariat. From the Department of Employment and Social Development, we have Janet Goulding, associate assistant deputy minister, income security and social development branch; and Kris Johnson, director general, homelessness policy directorate. Also, from the Department of Indigenous Services, we have Chad Westmacott, director general, community infrastructure branch.
I understand CMHC is going to go first.
Will it be you, Ms. Bowers?
