We'll come to order.
Pursuant to an order of reference from the House, we're continuing our look at Bill C-44, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 22, 2017, and other measures.
We have a number of witnesses here this afternoon. We appreciate your coming forward to give your views on Bill C-44.
First, we'll turn to the Canadian Mental Health Association, and Patrick Smith, the national CEO, and Teresa Gerner, the national coordinator, administration and government relations.
The floor is yours, Patrick.
