I call the meeting to order.
I want to thank the witnesses for coming and testifying before the committee. This is actually a reacquaintance of some old, familiar faces, and I understand you're probably getting together at the back of the room talking about this issue. We spent three years on it. It seems like four lifetimes, three years.
I certainly appreciate you coming back as we deliberate about the section 8 regulations we have before the committee right now. We do have some questions on that, and I'm sure you have some input that would help the committee as we take a look at these.
We have with us, from the University of Alberta, Timothy Caulfield; from Dalhousie University, Françoise Baylis; from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, Dr. André Lalonde; and from the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, William Buckett. It's good to have you here. Thank you for coming.
We'll start with Mr. Caulfield. The floor is yours.
