Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here. It's a very important topic for all of us as Canadians. Certainly, we look forward to digging a little bit deeper.
Primarily, the unfortunate thing is that this study has morphed a bit into something that we didn't really anticipate in the beginning. One of the things I would like to get out there right away is, if it really becomes the will of this committee to create a child and youth strategy for Canada, certainly we're going to need more meetings and more time to develop such a strategy or put us on the right path to do that. I'll leave that seed as it is.
First and foremost, perhaps I'll start with Emily.
You talked a bit about outcomes in your opening statement. I realize it's a big topic, but I'm wondering if you might comment a bit on how our outcomes for children in Canada fell from perhaps 10th out of 38 wealthy countries to 30th and 31st of 38 countries.
If you could start with that, please, I would appreciate it.
