The Chair NDP Niki Ashton

Good afternoon, everybody.

Perhaps we could get started. Our witnesses are ready.

I'd like to welcome two witnesses to our first panel today. From the Canadian Centre for Elder Law, we have Krista James, national director, and from the National Seniors Council, Jean-Guy Soulière, chair.

Thank you for joining us here today. You'll each have 10 minutes to present, and then we'll get right into questions.

I'd like to begin by asking Ms. James to speak.
