We are back in session.
I'd like to welcome Mr. Lake, who has joined us today to talk about the Senate public bill which he is sponsoring in the House, namely Bill S-203, an act respecting a federal framework on autism spectrum disorder.
Mr. Lake, thank you so much for being with us. I know that it was on short notice, but I also know this is your life's work and you probably didn't need much notice. It's a pleasure and honour to have you here.
You may take up to five minutes for your opening statement.
