Committee members, we will now resume the second hour of the committee meeting today, welcoming back committee members on this study on the care economy.
I've reviewed the procedures you should be following during the committee hearing. If you lose translation, please let me know, and please follow the health protocols in place. I remind members and witnesses to speak slowly for the benefit of the interpreters. That would be great.
At this time, I would like to welcome back Minister Qualtrough.
Minister, it's good to have you back before the committee, as well as your department officials. They have all introduced themselves, so I'm not going to repeat that.
We will move directly to hearing from the minister for five minutes.
Madam Minister, you have the floor.
