We're now starting panel number two.
Welcome to our two witnesses.
Before speaking, I would ask that people wait until the co-chair recognizes you. All comments should be addressed through joint chairs. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly to allow for translation.
Interpretation of this video conference will work like an in-person committee meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of either “floor”, “English” or “French”. When you are not speaking, please mute your microphone.
With that, I'd like to welcome our witnesses for panel number two. We have Dr. Leonie Herx, chair and associate professor, palliative medicine, Queen's University and chair, Royal College specialty committee in palliative medicine,
We also have with us Dr. Alain Naud, a family and palliative care physician.
Thank you both for joining this group this evening.
I am now going to invite each of you to give a five-minute presentation.
We'll begin with Dr. Herx.
For you introductory remarks, Doctor, you have five minutes.
