To Sonya's left is Kelly Farrah. Kelly is going to be attempting to fill the large shoes left by Sonya. She certainly has the credentials, including a Master of Science in epidemiology, as well as a Master of Library and Information Science, and 15 years of experience working in the field of health technology assessment. Prior to joining the Library of Parliament, she was a pharmaceutical review manager with Canada's Drug and Health Technology Agency.
As I read it, she sounds very much like a witness as opposed to somebody who will be on our side.
She has worked with PHAC as a research analyst and with the NACI secretariat. Areas of expertise include clinical and economic evaluation of drugs, vaccines and medical devices, and methods for knowledge synthesis in the health sciences. Please join me in welcoming Kelly to our committee as the analyst.
