We're ready to start the meeting. Our chair, Ben Lobb, is away today, so as vice-chair I agreed that I would chair the meeting.
Welcome, everybody, and to our witnesses.
We're continuing our study on marijuana's health risks and harms. Today we have two witnesses, Dr. Walsh from UBC and Mr. Lucas from the University of Victoria.
Welcome to both of you. It's great to have folks from B.C. here in person, because otherwise they usually have to get up super early to be on video conference. So it's nice to have you here in Ottawa.
We'll do our usual rounds. We'll have a seven-minute round and then a five-minute round. We do have two hours, so you're actually on the hot seat today because you're the only two witnesses. We'll go as long as there are questions and until we get to the end of our meeting time.
Again thank you for being here and we'll begin with Dr. Walsh.
