Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Little, thank you for your testimony. Let me reassure you. Earlier, you said that you took time away from your family to come and testify. I imagine it's the same for you, Ms. Vowles. This is time well spent, because it is very important for the committee to hear from families and to know what they are going through on a daily basis.
My questions are mainly for Ms. Little because I have had less time to research the Vowles family.
Ms. Little, while consulting your foundation's website, I saw that some of your supporters are pharmaceutical companies. It seems to me that you are the one funding the research to find a drug or a cure; that's what you said. How do you see your relationship with these companies that are both supporters and suppliers? Isn't there some contradiction between these two aspects?
