Committee members, please take your seats as we begin the second hour of today's meeting.
I would like to take a few moments to remind those appearing who were not here before that you have the option of participating in today's meeting in the official language of your choice. To do that, please make sure you're on the right channel. If you're in the room, have your earpiece on so that you are hearing the presentations. If you're appearing virtually, please click on the globe icon at the bottom of your screen and choose the official language of your choice. If there is an interruption in interpretation, please get my attention and we will suspend.
Having said that, one witness who was to appear virtually, Ms. Savage, did not pass the sound quality test for interpretation, so she will be rescheduled for a later time.
Please direct all comments through the chair. Wait until I recognize you by name before proceeding.
We are now moving into our study on homelessness in Canada. I would like to welcome our witnesses appearing in person.
From the Calgary Drop-In and Rehab Centre Society, we have Sandra Clarkson, president and chief executive officer, and from Table itinérance Rive-Sud, we have Gilles Beauregard, coordinator.
You each have up to five minutes for opening statements.
We'll begin with you, Ms. Clarkson, please.
