I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 103 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
We have a couple of witnesses on Zoom today, so I just want to let them know that they have interpretation available to them on Zoom. There is the choice, at the bottom of the screen, of floor, English or French. Please don't take any screenshots or photographs of your screen.
In accordance with our routine motion, I'm informing the committee that all remote participants have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on May 16, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of women's health. I'd like to welcome our panel of witnesses. As individuals, we have Dr. Ghadeer Anan, medical oncologist, who is joining us by video conference; Dr. Ambreen Sayani, scientist; and Dr. Andrea Simpson, obstetrician gynecologist, St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, who is joining us by video conference. Representing the Canadian Cancer Society, we have Helena Sonea, director, advocacy; and Ciana Van Dusen, advocacy manager, prevention.
We thank all of our witnesses for being here today. You will have up to five minutes for your opening statements, and we will begin with Dr. Anan.
Dr. Anan, welcome to the committee. You have the floor.
