I call the meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 109 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Today’s meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, although all of the committee members and witnesses are here in the room. I will go over a couple of comments. You have the option to speak in the official language of your choice. Interpretation is available using the headset in front of you. Click on the language you choose to participate in. I will ask you to keep your earpieces away from the mics, if you use them. Otherwise, they can cause popping that can hurt the interpreters. Please direct all of your questions through me, the chair. Wait until I recognize you by name before you proceed. To get my attention, please raise your hand. If there's a breakdown in the interpretation services, please get my attention, and we'll suspend while it is being corrected. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, February 27, 2024, the committee is continuing its study on Bill C-58, an act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Industrial Relations Board regulations, 2012. For the first hour, we will have the final group of witnesses who will appear for the review of Bill C-58. Appearing today in the room is Ginette Brazeau, chairperson of the Canada Industrial Relations Board. Welcome, madam. From the Canadian Canola Growers Association, we have Dave Carey, vice-president, government and industry relations. From the Canadian Telecommunications Association, we have Robert Ghiz, president and chief executive officer, and Eric Smith, senior vice-president. Before we begin, I do have to acknowledge that Mr. Ghiz's father was responsible for convincing me to enter politics and public life back in 1982. Welcome, Mr. Ghiz. Each of you will have five minutes or less to give opening remarks. We'll begin with Madame Brazeau. Chairperson, please go ahead for five minutes.
