Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the health committee.
We're very pleased to have some very important witnesses who are going to present before the committee today, as well as the minister, who will be joining us a little later.
Before we go right into the testimony of the witnesses, though, I have a question for the committee—and I would ask the witnesses, if you don't mind, to indulge us for a few minutes and to be a little patient.
First of all, I would like to ask the members if they have any objections to cancelling our meeting scheduled for February 26. That is the date the budget will be coming down. This is due, of course, to the presentation of the budget in the House that day. So what we'll do is take the whole agenda and bump it up so that it goes in the right sequence according to what we had originally planned.
Are there any questions?
Dr. Bennett.
