Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I want to welcome our guests. It is delightful that you could be here today at such short notice for our discussion on such an important topic.
Before we begin our committee, I would like to speak to the committee members for a moment. We have a motion to consider before we start, and that is the budget in the amount of $5,500 for the study of health implications of the supply of radioisotopes.
Could I have this motion adopted?
(Motion agreed to)
Now we will proceed.
As you know, guests, we have each organization give a seven-minute presentation. Following the seven-minute presentation, there are two rounds of questioning. The first one is seven minutes as well, for both questions and answers, and the second one allows five minutes for both questions and answers.
We will begin with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Who would like to start with that? Who would be the first speaker?
