Thank you very much, Madam Co-Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
Dr. Ethans, I'd like to start with you. Your opening remarks reminded me of a high school friend who once was an amazing soccer athlete. I played on the same team as him. He was involved in an unfortunate car accident and went through some pretty dark days. Nowadays, he's a remarkably successful lawyer and has his own family. That's a personal observation of mine about someone who has come through a very dark place and has adjusted to very life-altering circumstances.
Maybe I'll give you some leeway in what you'd like to say here. In our committee, yes, we do have five broad themes that we're looking at, but I also think our committee has a bit of latitude in the types of recommendations we can make.
For your field of specialty, when we're looking at supports for people who are dealing with spinal cord injuries, are there any specific recommendations you'd like to see our committee focus on for some of the supports that are necessary to help people achieve that full potential later on?
