I call the meeting back to order.
Colleagues, we will resume at this time.
I'd like to welcome our main witness, but there are two. We have a second person there in case additional backup is needed.
We welcome Dr. Jitender Sareen, a physician with the department of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba, by video conference. He is accompanied by Dr. Pierre Gagnon, director of the department of psychiatry and neuroscience at Université Laval. Welcome to you both.
Dr. Sareen, you will have five minutes for your opening remarks, and then we'll go right into the first round of questions. We have one witness presenting testimony to start.
Dr. Sareen, the floor is yours for five minutes.
