We will resume, colleagues.
I have a few comments for the benefit of our new witnesses. Before speaking, please wait until you are recognized by name by one of the joint chairs. I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the joint chairs.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. Interpretation in this video conference will work like it does in an in-person committee meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. When you are not speaking, please keep your microphone on mute. Thank you very much.
Welcome to all of our panellists for this discussion on mature minors. It's a very important topic for us. We really appreciate the time you're giving our committee.
We have three panellists with us—Dr. Kathryn Morrison, clinical and organizational ethicist; Dr. Gordon Gubitz, professor, division of neurology, department of medicine, faculty of graduate studies at Dalhousie University; and Kimberley Widger, associate professor—all by video conference.
I will begin with Dr. Kathryn Morrison.
You have the floor for five minutes.
