Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, I want to thank the witnesses. Having two witnesses for a two-hour meeting is a lot to ask.
I mean no disrespect in this, but one of the issues that has been very top of mind for me.... I'm a young mom. Through the course of this study and through the course of the last few months, I have on numerous occasions brought up the real, serious concerns that have been brought to me by a lot of parents—moms and dads, regular people, grandparents all across the country—who are struggling to find children's pain medication. We're at a crisis level. We're at a space where it's on the shelves in the U.S. in abundance—you can even pick your flavour—but in Canada, you can't find it anywhere. This is especially troubling in rural, remote and isolated communities, such as the one that I live in, because we're a long ways away from a children's hospital if something does go bad.
With that, I'd like to move a motion:
That the committee hold a meeting on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, to discuss the ongoing shortages of children’s pain medications to include an hour with officials from the Department of Health and a second hour to include one witness from each political party represented on the committee.
