We're back.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the new witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until the chair recognizes you by name. A reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. I would ask those in the room to speak very close to their microphones in order to help the interpreters.
Interpretation in this video conference will work like in an in-person committee meeting. For those participating by video conference, 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.
I would now like to welcome the witnesses for the second panel. Joining us by video conference, we have Dr. Mona Gupta, psychiatrist and researcher at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal.
I welcome Dr. Douglas Grant, representing the Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities of Canada.
Lastly, we have Dr. Claire Gamache, psychiatrist and president of the Association des médecins psychiatres du Québec.
Thank you all for being with us today.
I'll now give the floor to the joint co-chair, Senator Martin.
