The clerk will make arrangements, then, for clause by clause to be done on the following Thursday.
We have witnesses with us today, one of whom is here on a video conference, Madame Beaulieu. She is chairholder, research chair on mistreatment of older adults. In the room we have Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy for the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, and Naila Butt, executive director of the Social Services Network.
I think when you received your correspondence from the clerk, he indicated that you would have up to 10 minutes for an opening address. I'll let you know when you're at nine minutes so that we can cut you off at the 10-minute mark without disturbing what you're doing.
Perhaps we can start with Madame Beaulieu on the videoconference. If you have an opening address, please go ahead.
