Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to all the panellists.

It's been a while, I think, since we travelled on the human trafficking study, that we've had a panel entirely of westerners, so thank you all for being here. Two from Edmonton, one from B.C., it's fantastic.

Dr. Wells, I was at the apology as well and will remember that for the rest of my life.

I have six minutes, minus these 15 seconds I just took for the preamble, so I'm going to ask some short snappers of each of you, basically yes or no questions to start.

Shelley, is it true that criminalizing HIV in Canada has increased the stigma of HIV status, yes or no?
