I call our meeting to order.
This is meeting number 74 of the Standing Committee on Health.
I want to welcome everybody. Today we're going to have an open general round table discussion to see where we are after all of the meetings we've had and to get the opinions of our guests.
We will proceed with a regular questioning series and then we'll have a second round, by the looks of things, until we have to go to vote.
Just before we start, I want to acknowledge that Mr. Davies brought up an issue about the parliamentary budget officer last week, and you were right. I hate to say this, but you were right. We did ask the PBO to do a study based on the WHO. He acknowledged that, but it didn't get done.
However, we did ask, and he did acknowledge it. I just wanted to let you know that. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
