Committee members, I call to order the second hour of committee meeting number 55. Welcome back.
The committee will resume its study of the subject matter of supplementary estimates (B), 2022-23, vote 1b under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and votes 1b and 5b under the Department of Employment and Social Development.
I would like to make a few comments for the joining witnesses, who are all appearing in the room in person in this round. Please direct your questions and comments through me, as chair, and I will recognize you. At that time, you will have the floor.
As well, everyone has the option of speaking in the official language of their choice. If there is a disruption in the translation service, please get my attention and we'll suspend while it's rectified.
I'd like to begin by welcoming the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion. From CMHC, we have Romy Bowers, president and chief executive officer, and Michel Tremblay, chief financial officer and senior vice-president of corporate services. From the Department of Employment and Social Development, we have Nisa Tummon, assistant deputy minister in the programs operation branch. From the Office of Infrastructure of Canada, we have Janet Goulding, assistant deputy minister of the community policy and programs branch.
We'll begin, Minister, with a five-minute opening statement from you. You have the floor.
