Thank you, Mr. Garneau.
I'd like to introduce our witnesses. We have, appearing as an individual, Dr. Félix Pageau, geriatrician, ethicist and researcher, Université Laval. From the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, we have Dr. Stefanie Green, president, MAiD practitioner, adviser to the B.C. Ministry of Health. From the Canadian Nurses Association, we have Tim Guest, chief executive officer, and Barbara Pesut, principal research chair in palliative and end of life care, University of British Columbia, Okanagan.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of our witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. I 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.
With that, I'd like to welcome our witnesses for this panel. You each have five minutes. We'll begin.
