I call this meeting to order.
My understanding is that the technical tests have been done for those witnesses with headsets, of which there is one. It's all good.
Today we have two hours for hearings on Bill C-226. We have two panels. The first one includes Ms. May, the sponsor of the bill and MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands. Appearing along with Ms. May is Dr. Jane McArthur, toxics program director, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
I think you discussed with the clerk, Ms. May, that both of you combined have 13 minutes, if you would like to take that to the full.
We'll let you get started. Please go ahead. Congratulations on getting your bill to this stage of the legislative process.
