The meeting is now resumed.
I'd like to welcome the members back.
I welcome the witnesses to meeting number 30 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health.
Pursuant to the order of reference of May 26, 2020, the committee is resuming its briefing on the Canadian response to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the new witnesses. Before speaking, please wait until you are recognized by name. During questioning, the questioner will signal to whom the question is addressed. When you are ready to speak, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike.
I remind everyone that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Interpretation in this video conference will work very much like in a regular committee meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. As you are speaking, if you plan to alternate from one language to the other, you will need to also switch the interpretation channel so that it aligns with the language you are speaking. You may want to allow for a short pause when switching languages.
When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I'd like now to welcome our second panel of witnesses.
