Thank you very much. That should conclude the minister's time. I thank the minister and her staff for being present here for an hour.
I'd also like to thank my colleagues for keeping their questions tight and to the time and for asking them in a respectful manner.
We will suspend for a couple of minutes. Those who need to leave may do so.
When we resume we'll have the departmental staff here to answer questions for about 40 minutes, and then we'll have 10 minutes to go over the supplementary estimates and vote on them.
We are suspended.
We'll call the meeting back to order.
We welcome our colleagues who are here from the various departments throughout Health Canada.
We'll get started in just a few minutes. We're going into our five-minute rounds. Ms. Davies will start off, and then we'll rotate through our regular session.
I'd like to remind my colleagues and anyone in the audience that if you have a mobile phone, please set it to “silent” or “vibrate” so that we don't hear it ringing during the question and answer period. I'd also ask that no pictures be taken with your mobile phones during the committee meeting—just to be clear.
As I said, we'll go till about 5:20, and at that time we'll conclude this portion of our meeting and we'll go through supplementary estimates. I thank you in advance.
Ms. Davies, you have five minutes to start, please.
