Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to call this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to order as we continue our study of Bill S-201, an act to prohibit and prevent genetic discrimination.
I would like to welcome our witnesses for today. We are joined by the Canadian Medical Association, represented by Dr. Cindy Forbes, who is the past president, and Cécile Bensimon, who is the director of ethics.
Welcome, ladies.
We're also joined by the Canadian College of Medical Geneticists. Dr. Gail Graham, the past president, is joining us.
Thank you very much for being here.
We've agreed that you will begin, Dr. Forbes.
