Thank you for unanimous consent. I declare this meeting in session.
Welcome everyone. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) on the motion adopted Monday, April 16, 2018, the committee is resuming its study of the impacts of methamphetamine abuse in Canada. After our witnesses' testimony, and questions, we will go in camera and discuss the committee report.
Today we have with us, from Victoria, by teleconference, Ms. Lisa Lapointe, Chief Coroner of British Columbia; from Oregon, Katrina Hedberg, State Health Officer of the Oregon Health Authority; and from Vancouver, Dr. Susan Burgess, Clinical Associate Professor, University of British Columbia, from the Vancouver Coastal Health.
You each have 10 minutes to give testimony. In the interest of time, if we're running short I'll give you a one-minute warning when we're at the end of the 10 minutes and we'll go on to each speaker in turn. Then we'll go to our questions.
We'll start now with Ms. Lapointe, for 10 minutes.
