We have a quorum now, so I would like to get started because we have a lot to cover today.
I would like to greet the witnesses. It's absolutely wonderful to see you here today. We are quite looking forward to your presentations. We look to you for information and guidance in health.
I want you to know that your input is very important to us. Sometimes you'll see members doing a lot of things as they're listening to you, but they're doing things related to the committee, for the most part--99% of it.
Before we start, committee members, I want to give you this sheet that I'd like you to look over. It is our draft travel itinerary. I will leave that with you right now. I want to ask you also to hand in your Standing Committee on Health request for travel. You can either fax it in to Nathalie or you can give it to Georges, our clerk. Either way is good with him.
Let's start with our witnesses right now, because we're quite looking forward to hearing from them.
I would like to start with the Canadian Cancer Society. I believe it's Mr. Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst for the national public issues office, who will be presenting.
You have 10 minutes for your presentation. We look forward to hearing from you.
