We're now resuming our meeting, ladies and gentlemen.
We have three new witnesses before us. From the Conference Board of Canada, we have Michael Bloom, vice-president, organizational effectiveness and learning; from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, we have Bruce Campbell, executive director; we also have Michael Hart, Simon Reisman chair in trade policy, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, who is testifying as an individual.
I'm going to follow the order that is in front of you, so I'm going to ask Mr. Bloom to go first.
I'll keep you very close to five minutes for your opening statement, and then we'll get on to questions.
Go ahead, Mr. Bloom, for five minutes, please.
