Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our guests for being here.
My first questions will be for the Toronto Community Benefits Network.
With regard to the federal budget that was just announced and is going through the House of Commons right now, can you highlight a couple of opportunities there? We can do a lot of symbolic gestures about equality, but they're really meaningless if we don't actually get the programs out there, have the results and measure the results by dealing with the inequities. Your work is crucial in getting some of those real jobs created.
For my project, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, we got some basic community benefits—a pittance in the overall project—but it was a first big step forward. It is a recognition that a federal project can actually have community benefits. Can you maybe highlight a couple of opportunities in the federal budget that might be advantageous to move this along?
