Welcome to the 101st meeting of the Standing Committee on Health.
We're here to continue our study on Bill S-228, an act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (prohibiting food and beverage marketing directed at children).
We have four groups today. Each group has 10 minutes to make an opening statement.
We have from the Coalition québécoise sur la problématique du poids, Corinne Voyer, director, and Clara Couturier, research analyst, public policy. From the Sport Matters Group, we have Lindsay Hugenholtz Sherk, senior leader, and Erica Wiebe, Olympic gold medalist in wrestling. From the Association of Canadian Advertisers, we have Ronald Lund, president and chief executive officer, as well as Chris Williams, vice-president, digital. From the Childhood Obesity Foundation of British Columbia, we have Dr. Tom Warshawski, chair of the Stop Marketing to Kids Coalition.
Dr. Warshawski has a presentation, but it has not been translated into French so we need unanimous consent for him to be able to present it. The translation is in the works, but it just didn't get done in time for the meeting.
Do committee members give unanimous consent to have it only in English?
