I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everybody. I'm very happy today to welcome you to the committee. It's good to see all the members here.
Today we're anxiously waiting to hear your testimony. I'd like to remind you before you start that you will have 10 minutes per organization to make your presentations. We'll hear all the presentations first, and following that we will go into questions for the witnesses.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and a motion adopted by the committee on March 6, 2006, I'd like to begin this committee meeting. We will begin with Mr. Richard Tremblay, president of the Canadian Organ Donors Association.
