Thank you, Chair.
Thank you particularly to our witnesses today. This is important testimony. I think many of us here in the room are on a steep learning curve because these are experiences that we have not lived through ourselves. The field of health is one in which, obviously, the province is traditionally predominant, so it's not an area in which I feel particularly comfortable or in any way an expert. I'm a layperson.
I'm interested in knowing about the federal programming with which your communities are engaged directly. What aspects of the services provided do you think are being done well and you support and would encourage more of? What are the aspects for which you think the way the federal civil service is structured or what is being done could be improved? I want to give you an opportunity, because we're going to hear from them as well. I'm sure they will admit they'd love to have more funding to do more things, including capital investments. I think this is a great opportunity also to learn about that.
I'd like to give each of our witness groups an opportunity to speak to that.
Maybe I'll start with Ms. Traverse.
