Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us. I really want to say thank you to everyone who's working on the ground, especially Diabetes Canada and JDRF. However, my first question is for Mr. Williams.
Mr. Williams, as we worked together for many years, especially on the framework for diabetes, thank you for the work you are doing on the ground for people living with diabetes, especially in Brampton. Even though I just wanted to acknowledge that, you're also sending reps from Diabetes Canada to educate people. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
My first question is on the implementation of the national framework for diabetes. We know that coverage of diabetes medications and devices is an essential component of the framework. Can you give a brief update to this committee on the implementation of the framework? Also, what recommendations can you give to this committee about the best way the diabetic devices access fund can serve patients with diabetes?
