We're resuming our meeting on our study of criminalization of non-disclosure of HIV status. We're joined by our next panel of distinguished guests. Joining us from the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network is Mr. Merv Thomas, Chief Operating Officer, who is joining us by video conference from Burnaby.
We're joined from the Canadian Coalition to Reform HIV Criminalization by Mr. Chad Clarke and Ms. Valerie Nicholson. From the Community-Based Research Centre we have Mr. Brook Biggin, Director, Program Development, Scale-Up and Implementation. From the Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre we have Ms. Maureen Gans, Senior Director, Client Services. Welcome, all.
You each have eight minutes, but I will let you go up to 10 minutes before I cut you off.
Mr. Thomas, because you're on video conference and we don't want to lose you, I'm going to ask you to go first, please.
