We'll call the meeting to order.
This is a meeting of the Standing Committee on Health. Our chair, Joy Smith, is away today, so as the vice-chair I'm stepping in.
We have a number of witnesses here today. Thank you very much for coming. We have Lyne Thomassin and Carole Lemire from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières; we have José Côté and Diane Saulnier from the Université de Montréal; Michael McBane is from the Canadian Health Coalition; and on video conference we have Dale Lacombe from the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce.
Welcome to the committee, everybody. We have an in camera portion for committee business at 12:30.
