I call this meeting to order.
I thank the witnesses for being here, but we just have a little bit of committee business to take care of first. Hopefully that won't take very long. Thank you for being here.
In committee business, we met yesterday as a subcommittee to prioritize our four studies. That report has been distributed.
I'll read this into the record.
Your Subcommittee met on Tuesday, February 25, 2020, to consider the business of the committee and agreed to make the following recommendations:
1. That the committee proceed to its future studies in the following order:
1. Palliative care
2. Primary care models
3. Assisted dying and mental illness
4. National dental care program
2. That, in relation to the study of palliative care in Canada, committee members submit their prioritized witness lists, with the witnesses' complete contact information, to the Clerk of the committee no later than Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at Noon.
3. That, with regards to the meeting of Monday, March 9, 2020, one hour be dedicated to a briefing with officials from the Department of Health in relation to the study of palliative care in Canada, and one hour be dedicated to the consideration of the work plan prepared by the analysts in relation to this study.
Respectfully submitted,
Ron McKinnon
Chair
Is it the will of the committee to adopt this recommendation?
Mr. Fisher.
