Would you care to join us, Mr. Petit? Colleagues, I think we can start. We have a quorum.
I would like to welcome our witnesses.
A vote is scheduled to take place in the House of Commons at 5:30 p.m. and other members will be joining us. Therefore, I suggest we begin and hear from the witnesses in the order listed in the notice of meeting. First up are the representatives of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who have already arrived. They will be followed by the Canada Safety Council, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and lastly, the Canadian Automobile Association.
I invite the groups to introduce their representatives and, as much as possible, to limit their presentations to seven minutes. We could be extremely generous and allow them 10 minutes. However, there are four witnesses on the schedule and we would like to wrap up by 5:30 p.m., in case we need to go and vote.
The presentations will be followed by a question period during which members will have seven minutes for the first round, and five minutes for subsequent rounds. The first to respond will be the Liberal members, followed by the Bloc and then by government members.
So then, let's begin with Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Please go ahead.
