Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the health committee meeting. It's 3:30 so we'll get things started.
We have four witnesses here or by video conference this afternoon, so we'll get right to them. If it's okay with the committee, we'll have the individuals by video conference go first, and then we'll hear from our guests who are here in person.
First up we're going to have from British Columbia, Donald MacPherson from the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition. Go ahead, sir.
