I call the meeting to order. Welcome to meeting 126 of the Standing Committee on Health. We're starting a new study today, and I'm sure we're all going to learn a lot, as we always do with these committees.
We welcome our witnesses and appreciate their time and expertise in this area, and we look forward to their remarks. Today's meeting is in two sections. We're going to hear from one panel first, and then we're going to suspend for a few minutes and have a second panel.
For the first panel we have Health Canada, represented by Suzy McDonald, assistant deputy minister, opioid response team—imagine—and Michelle Boudreau, director general, controlled substances directorate. From Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness we have Trevor Bhupsingh back. He is director general, law enforcement and border strategies. We also have Kimberly Lavoie, director, drug policy. From the Royal Canadian Mounted Police we have Chief Superintendent Paul Beauchesne, serious and organized crime and border integrity.
My understanding is that, among you all, you're going to have a 15-minute opening statement. I guess you're going to have to fight it out among yourselves as to who's going to go first.
Who's first? Suzy. That's great. You have 15 minutes.
