Thank you very much, Chair, and congratulations on your election to steer the ship. I appreciate it. I've enjoyed working with you in the past and I look forward to working with you in the future.
I would like to move a motion:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee invite the Minister of Jobs and Families, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, the Secretary of State for Seniors, the Secretary of State for Labour, and the Secretary of State for Children and Youth to appear separately before the committee, each accompanied by their officials, for a minimum of one hour, to discuss their respective mandates and key priorities in their service to Canadians.
I think that this is something that's quite standard. I know that in the past, this committee has been very good with doing that. I know that we've heard a lot about this being a new government with a new mandate, with a new leader and a new prime minister, so it would be great to have them at our committee to hear what their mandates are and also to be able to hear what they are planning to do for Canadians.
