I call the meeting back to order.
Welcome to our second panel of witnesses. Thank you all for being here. I know the circumstances didn't allow you to have that much notice, but you're here and in person, and we greatly appreciate that.

From the Canadian Health Coalition, we have Steven Staples, national director of policy and advocacy, and Mike Bleskie, advocate for type 1 diabetes.
From the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, we have Stephen Frank, president and CEO.
From the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, we have Yves Giroux, Parliamentary Budget Officer, and Lisa Barkova, analyst.
Welcome to all of you. We're going to invite you to start with a five-minute opening statement in the order in which you appear on the notice of meeting, so we're going to start with the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association for five minutes.
Welcome to the committee. You have the floor.
