I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 30 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 order of November 25, 2021. Members are attending in person in the room, as well as virtually. I would ask that all members attending in person respect the pandemic protocols that are in place.
Additionally, to ensure an orderly meeting, I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
