Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have many questions for our witnesses, but I'd like to start with a quick comment.
If you're able, I would suggest that, in the future, you give your presentations in French. In fact, the committee hears few presentations in French, less than 10%. I noticed that French speakers gave their presentations in English. Even though they were good presentations, we have to make sure that French is adequately represented during House of Commons committee meetings. So I would kindly ask that you keep that in mind for the next time.
Now, I'd like to hear how the integration of nurse practitioners in Canada is going. It's a recent and growing initiative. You are probably in the best position to give us an update on how things are coming along.
I'd also like you to tell us where things stand with physician assistants. That role is gaining considerable traction in the United States, but not in Canada, I don't think.
Could you give us a progress report on the situation?
