I call the committee to order.
First of all, I'd like to welcome our guests, our panel today. I realize you were notified on rather short notice, so thank you so much for being here.
Again, thank you to the health and environment departments for being here. Feel free to jump in where necessary. I know our people here will involve you.
I believe we'll follow the order of witnesses as they're found on the agenda. I would ask you to try to keep your comments to ten minutes. Then we'll go through the first round, which will involve our members having a ten-minute intervention, and the second round would be a five-minute intervention. I would ask you to keep your answers as brief as possible so that the maximum number of people can ask questions.
We'll begin with Mr. Michel Gaudet.
