It being 8:45, I will call this committee meeting to order pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, May 5, 2010, Bill C-471, An Act respecting the implementation of the recommendations of the Pay Equity Task Force and amending another Act in consequence.
We have our first witness here today, who is the Honourable Michael Ignatieff, P.C., MP for Etobicoke--Lakeshore.
Welcome to the meeting, Mr. Ignatieff. I will let you know that you have 10 minutes to present and then there will be a round of questions. Without further ado, I will ask you to begin. I will give you a one-minute notice when you have one more minute left in your presentation. Thank you.
