Good afternoon, everybody.
I certainly want to welcome our witnesses today. We're quite looking forward to what you have to present to us on Bill C-11.
Committee, as you know, from each organization there's one person per organization who's going to give a 10-minute introduction.
We have in front of us, from the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada, Alicia Sarabia, who is section head of medical microbiology at the Credit Valley Hospital. Welcome, Doctor.
We have, from the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion, Vivek Goel, president and chief executive officer; and we have Don Low, medical director of public health laboratories. Welcome to both of you here today.
From the University of Calgary, we have Dr. Michael Hynes, professor, Department of Biological Sciences. Welcome, Doctor.
And from the Institut Armand-Frappier, we have Dr. Albert Descoteaux.
We welcome you all.
We will start with Dr. Alicia Sarabia.
