Yes, I will, Mr. Co-Chair.
For the benefit of our new witnesses, before speaking, please wait until you are recognized by name.
As a reminder, all comments should be addressed through the joint chairs.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. An interpretation in this video conference will work like 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 panel two.
We have, as an individual, Jocelyn Downie, university research professor, faculties of law and medicine, Dalhousie University; Dr. Catherine Ferrier, physician, division of geriatric medicine, McGill University Health Centre; and Dr. Susan MacDonald, associate professor of medicine and family medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Thank you all for joining us this evening.
We'll begin with opening remarks by Ms. Downie, followed by Dr. Ferrier and Dr. MacDonald.
Ms. Downie, you have five minutes. The floor is yours.
