Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our health committee, meeting number six.
This afternoon we are honoured to have the Minister of Health here, Minister Ambrose. She's agreed to be here for an hour to go over the supplementary estimates. She has some of her colleagues from the department here as well.
Minister, you have some opening comments, and then you know the routine as far as questions and answers go. After the minister is done, we'll suspend for two minutes, and then we'll continue with our questions and answers from other people within the department. The last ten minutes we'll allocate to voting on the estimates.
Thanks, everybody, for being here. And thank you to the clerk for arranging to pull a few strings to get this large meeting room, so we can fit everybody in.
Without any further ado, Minister Ambrose, it's your time.
