Good afternoon.
Today is my first time in the chair of the Health Committee. I'm very honoured to be receiving the Auditor General, Ms. Fraser. It was a major challenge to get you here today. Chairing this meeting is a great experience for me. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), we will proceed with the study of Chapters 8 and 10 of the report of the Auditor General of Canada.
I in this report you state fairly disturbing findings. Today, I believe all committee members will have questions to ask you so that Canadians and Quebeckers understand the issues involved. Other persons may also answer the questions.
I would like to welcome all the witnesses. Without further delay, I turn the floor over to you, Ms. Fraser.
