I call to order meeting number 73 of the Standing Committee on Health. Today we are fortunate to have with us the parliamentary budget officer and several officials from that office.
We welcome Mr. Jean-Denis Fréchette, parliamentary budget officer.
We thank all of you for your assistance on this.
We have with us Mostafa Askari; Carleigh Malanik, financial analyst; Jason Jacques, senior director; and Mark Mahabir, director of policy. Welcome.
My understanding, Mr. Fréchette, is that you are going to start with a short introduction and split your time. The floor is yours.
