I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 96 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
In accordance with our routine motion, I'm informing the committee that all remote participants have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting. Everyone in the meeting is participating virtually with the exception of Madame Vignola. She and I are in the room in Ottawa.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting to consider a request by members of the committee to undertake a study concerning a contract between Medicago and the Government of Canada.
The floor is open.
Go ahead, Dr. Ellis.
