I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. We're going to get started right away this morning. We do have a busy morning, and there is a chance that we're going to get interrupted.
Without any further ado, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 18, 2018, the committee is resuming its study of supporting families after the loss of a child.
Today the committee will be hearing from witnesses and will deal with some committee business a little bit later.
I want to introduce all of the witnesses here today. Appearing as individuals, we have Susan Cadell, professor, school of social work, Renison University College at the University of Waterloo. Welcome to you.
We have Karima Joy, Ph.D. candidate, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, social and behavioural health sciences, University of Toronto. Welcome.
We have Mary Ellen Macdonald, associate professor, pediatric palliative care research program, McGill University. Welcome.
Coming to us via video conference from Montreal, we have Moire Stevenson, psychologist, MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre.
You can hear me okay, obviously.
