Order. I offer my apologies again. We had a vote and that is why we're a little late. Thank you to the members who made the supreme effort, put on their running shoes, and got here ahead of time. That's very much appreciated.
Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're studying chronic diseases related to aging. We have some excellent witnesses, and we will be going until 5:20. We'll have very brief business at the end of our committee meeting.
We have the Associated Medical Services Inc., with William Shragge, chief executive officer.
Welcome, Mr. Shragge.
