I will now call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and section 25.9 of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, we are looking at a statutory review of the ten-year plan to strengthen health care.
We have a number of witnesses this morning. We have with us, from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Glenda Yeates, president and chief executive officer; we also have Kathleen Morris, consultant. From the Health Council of Canada we have Jeanne Besner, chair, Donald Juzwishin, chief executive officer, and Albert Fogarty, councillor. Welcome. Bienvenue.
We will start our debate with the presentation by Madam Yeates, please, for ten minutes or less.
