Take your seats please.
We are back in session.
I want to thank all of the members of this witness panel for joining us. It's a great pleasure to have you here.
I believe we have Mr. Smith on video.
I just want to explain what is going to happen. There are three groups presenting, and each group will have eight minutes to present, and then you will receive questions from the MPs. You will receive six minutes of questions from the Conservatives, six from the Liberals, six from the NDP, and then we'll see how much time is left.
I'm very pleased to introduce Mr. Derryck Smith from Vancouver, who's testifying via video conference as an individual. It's a pleasure to have you, sir.
From the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, we have Ms. Amy Hasbrouck, who's the vice-president; and Mr. Hugh Scher, who's the legal counsel. It's a pleasure to have you with us.
From the Association for Reformed Political Action, we have Mr. André Schutten, who is the legal counsel; Mr. James Schutten; and Mr. Pieter Harsevoort. It's very nice to have all of you here.
Mr. Smith, the floor is yours.
