 Hi, I'm Don McCrae, Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation. Congratulations to the Community Social Services Employers Association for 20 years of serving employers in British Columbia's social services sector. I'd also like to extend my greetings to all of you at the 20th annual AGM and Fall Conference in Inaimo. I recognize and appreciate that tremendous work being done around the province every day through agencies across the social services sector. This is a large and diverse sector that provides a range of services to thousands of British Columbians. You deliver vital social, health and educational services and help to provide a quality of life for those who rely on them. Your employers and staff are known for the dedication, passion and commitment to service. Since becoming Minister, I've had the opportunity to meet with some of the individuals who are delivering frontline services and see firsthand how you make a difference in all our communities. I understand that the social service sector faces many challenges and I look forward to finding ways to ensure that service continues to be a priority for all of us. This is a sector with a legacy of innovation and our government will continue to work with the sector to look for innovative ways to provide support and assistance to British Columbians. Congratulations again on 20 years of great service. Thank you.
