Good morning, everyone.
We seem to be doomed to start our meetings late because somebody is leaving as we're coming in. Anyway, here we are.
I want to welcome our witnesses today: from the Canadian Labour Congress, Barbara Byers, executive vice-president; Ken Battle, from the Caledon Institute; and Danie Harvey and Micheline Dépatie, from the Conseil national des chômeurs et chômeuses. France Turcotte is not here, right?
