Welcome to the health committee. I want to especially say to you that it's a special day today. I'm very happy to welcome the minister to our committee meeting this morning. The committee, as you know, is studying the supplementary estimates (A) for 2007-08 under Health, pursuant to Standing Order 81(5).
This morning, as I said, I welcome Minister Clement and his officials, as well as officials from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
I would just say that the procedure today is going to be that we're having a presentation from the minister, and then following that I will give you your allotted times and we'll be able to have time to ask some questions of the minister.
So welcome today, and we so look forward to your presentation this morning, Minister.
