I call the meeting back to order.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses.
You may speak in the language of your choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French audio. Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I would like to welcome the witnesses to begin our discussion. Each of you will have five minutes for your opening remarks. I will ask the witnesses to honour the five minutes, because I will cut you off at five minutes for the benefit of the committee members.
We have Jodi Hall, chief executive officer of the Canadian Association for Long Term Care; Christina Bisanz, chief executive officer from CHATS, Community and Home Assistance to Seniors; and Mr. Ian DaSilva, director of operations from the Canadian Support Workers Association.
We'll start with the Canadian Association for Long Term Care for five minutes. Following the opening remarks from the witnesses, we'll open the floor to committee members for questioning.
Ms. Hall, you have the floor for five minutes, please.
