We are resuming meeting number 34 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health. The committee is meeting to study the emergency situation facing Canadians in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; specifically today we are examining Canada's national emergency response landscape.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses. We have, appearing today as an individual, Dr. Gregory Marchildon. I apologize for my mispronunciation of your name. He is a professor and Ontario research chair in health policy and system design at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. With the Canadian Public Health Association, we have Mr. Ian Culbert, executive director. With the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, we have Dr. Timothy Evans, executive director.
With that, I will invite the witnesses to give their statements. For your information, I will display a yellow card when you're getting near the end of your time, and a red card when your time is up. When you see the red card, try to wrap up. Thank you all.
We will start with Dr. Marchildon. Please go ahead, sir, for six minutes.
