Committee members, we are ready to start our meeting. We are discussing the economic security of women and we have before us the following witnesses: from the Canadian Teachers' Federation, Noreen O'Haire, director, and John Staple, deputy secretary general; and from the Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario, Sheri Oliver, who is the director.
As you have been notified, there are 10 minutes of speaking. Are you going to be sharing your time? Yes? We are clock watchers, so we will watch the clock. It'll beep at you, and as long as you watch me signalling you, you will know that your time is up.
After you finish speaking, we will go to the round of questions, and after the questions, we will have you wrap up for a minute each.
There are votes today at 5:30, so the meeting will go on until 5 o'clock so we can discuss our committee business for 15 minutes.
Ms. O'Haire, are you going to start or do you want Sheri to start?
Ms. Oliver, for 10 minutes.
