Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the health committee.
Today we have a very important bill before our health committee. It's Bill C-300, An Act respecting a Federal Framework for Suicide Prevention. It is my honour and privilege to introduce the sponsor of this bill, MP Harold Albrecht, who has worked extensively on this particular issue.
Mr. Albrecht will be presenting first, and then we have, from the Mental Health Commission, Dr. David Goldbloom and Ms. Mary Bartram. I understand, Dr. Goldbloom, you'll be doing the presentation. We have Ms. Tana Nash from the Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council. Thank you so much for joining us, Ms. Nash.
We will begin with my friend and colleague Mr. Albrecht.
