Ladies and gentlemen, let me call this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to order.
This is meeting 68, and according to the orders of the day, pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, November 26, 2014, the subject matter is Bill C-583, an act to amend the Criminal Code (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder).
We have four witnesses with us today, but the final witness, Ms. Bradley, from the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Society Yukon, has already presented. We weren't able to get her for the question-and-answer period, so she has kindly rejoined us today.
We have three presentations of approximately 10 minutes each.
Our first presenter, Ms. Ross, is from the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Group of Ottawa. By video conference from Edmonton, we have, as an individual, Ms. Pei, associate professor at the University of Alberta. As well, from the Assembly of First Nations, we have Mr. Alexis, Alberta regional chief. Then, of course, from the Yukon, we have Ms. Bradley, also by video conference.
With that, we'll get started.
Ms. Ross, the floor is yours.
