The meeting is resumed.
Welcome back, everyone.
We are resuming meeting number 21 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health.
The committee is meeting today to study the emergency situation facing Canadians in light of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I would like to welcome the witnesses.
As an individual, we have Dr. Cécile Tremblay, full professor, Université de Montréal. From the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, we have Dr. Alan Drummond, co-chair, public affairs committee; and Dr. Atul Kapur, co-chair, public affairs committee. From the Public Health Agency of Canada, we have Mr. Iain Stewart, president, who will be making a presentation. And we have Major-General Dany Fortin, vice-president of the vaccine rollout task force, logistics and operations, who will also be making a presentation.
We will start now with witness statements. I would remind everyone that I will be using a yellow card to indicate when there's about a minute left, if I don't forget, and a red card when your time is up. When you see the red card, please try to wrap up.
We will start with Dr. Tremblay.
Dr. Tremblay, you have the floor for six minutes.
