We are back.
Good afternoon everyone.
There are issues with Ms. Donnelly's connection, so the technicians are working with her to get the problem resolved.
In the meantime, since we're running a bit late—it's already 4:35—and we're supposed to end at 5:30, I suggest we start with Mr. Mausz. If we get Ms. Donnelly's connection sorted out, she can give her opening statement after Mr. Mausz.
Everyone seems to be okay with that.
Welcome, Mr. Mausz.
Justin Mausz is an advanced care paramedic and scientist at Peel Regional Paramedic Services.
Assuming her connection issues are fixed, we will then hear from Elizabeth Donnelly, an associate professor, and she will be appearing as an individual.
Also with us is Paul Hills, president of the Saskatoon Paramedics Association. He is here on behalf of the International Association of Fire Fighters.
Welcome to all of you.
You will each have five minutes for your opening statements.
You have five minutes, Mr. Mausz. Please go ahead.
