I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 54 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health.
Today we meet for two hours with witnesses on our study of children's health.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022.
We do have one witness online. For our witness online, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of either floor, English, or French. I'll give a reminder that screen shots or pictures of your screen are not permitted. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. In accordance with our routine motion, I am informing the committee that all witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
I will now welcome the witnesses who are with us this afternoon.
From the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, we have Dr. Marco Di Buono, president; from the Childhood Obesity Foundation, we have Dr. Tom Warshawski, chair, who is with us via video conference; from the Coalition for Healthy School Food, we have Carolyn Webb, coordinator, knowledge mobilization; and from ParticipACTION, we have Elio Antunes, president and chief executive officer.
Thank you all for taking the time to be with us today.
Each witness will have up to five minutes for an opening statement.
We'll begin with Dr. Di Buono. Welcome to the committee. You have the floor.
