Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Standing Committee on Health. It is a pleasure to have some of our people back at committee today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is a study of the implementation of the recommendations of the Weatherill report on the 2008 listeriosis outbreak.
We are very fortunate to have with us, from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Dr. Butler-Jones, Chief Public Health Officer; Dr. Mark Raizenne, director general of the centre for food-borne, environmental, and zoonotic infectious diseases.
On video conference, we have Dr. Frank Plummer, scientific director general from the national microbiology laboratory.
Dr. Plummer, welcome this morning. Can you hear me?
