Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for inviting us to speak to the committee today.
My name is Marlene Deboisbriand. I'm the vice-president of member services for Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.

Our association of over 100 clubs reaches over 200,000 children, youth, and their families across the country. We are in 500 community locations from coast to coast to coast.
