I will call the meeting to order.
First of all, welcome everyone. This is the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee on Health of the 39th Parliament.
I will start first of all with an announcement to the committee members to let you know we will need to deal with one motion concerning some finances of the committee, which we will do after we're done with the witness portion and questioning portion of our meeting. We will have this later on in the meeting; I just wanted to give you that information.
We have a great selection of witnesses with us today to talk about wait times and success stories right across Canada. We're looking forward to what they have to present to committee and, by doing so, to Canadians. I first of all want to introduce them.
With us today is Mr. Cyril Frank, who is vice-chair of the Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institute. Thank you for being here.
Also, from the Cardiac Care Network of Ontario we have Kevin Glasgow. Thank you for coming.
The Canadian Association of Radiologists is represented by Dr. Martin Reed. Thank you for being here.
And with us also today from Capital Health is Richard Lewanczuk. Thank you for coming, as well as Angela Estey, also from Capital Health. Thank you for being here.
We are looking forward to what you have to share with us, and we'll start right off the bat with Mr. Frank. Would you please start us with your presentation?
