Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
This is a very big pleasure for me to welcome everyone from JDRF to this committee. This is something we have been trying to accomplish for a while. I thank all committee members for agreeing to have this hour dedicated to this very important topic.
I'd like to start by giving you a little background for 30 seconds.
I met Chloe Rudichuk, obviously a very well-spoken young girl of 11, who is an excellent—as you are, Mitchell, as well—spokesperson for this very important cause. I was able to meet Chloe's parents, Jeff and Carla. We had a good discussion and this is what has come out of that. I'm very proud of you, Chloe, for persevering and coming to committee today.
I have two questions for you, Chloe, and then I'd like to ask Bob two questions. I only have five minutes.
Chloe, this is my first question. I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, because not everyone understands that. Type 2 diabetes can be the result later in life of poor eating habits or not enough exercise, but that's not the case with type 1 diabetes, is it?
