Colleagues, please find your seats.
I want to apologize. We have votes at 5:30, so the bells will start ringing at 5:15. I'm told there are two private members' bills and there's a government bill, so the votes will take at least 45 minutes, I understand. Unfortunately this will interrupt the presentations.
We have seven groups here, and I'm going to ask colleagues to stay until about 5:21. If each group can shorten their presentation to three minutes we can get all the presentations in. Then we'll go to the votes and ask questions when we come back. If witnesses have somewhere to go we can't expect you to stay, but at least we'll try to get every group on the record before the committee.
I apologize for this, but when votes happen the whips call all members back.
We will start with Mrs. Grant from the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science.
