Welcome back, colleagues.
We now have a very special panel for one and a half hours. We have the chair of the expert panel on MAID and mental illness, Dr. Mona Gupta. I'm not sure if there are others accompanying her, but I see her online.
This panel will be one and a half hours in length. Therefore, the format will be slightly different from our usual format. Following Dr. Gupta's opening statement of five minutes.... Actually, I misspoke. We will be going back to our original round of questions. We have never been able to get to round two, as you know. We'll be doing round one with MPs and senators, and then the second round with three minutes for both Conservatives and Liberals and two minutes for Bloc Québécois and NDP. We have never gotten to the second round, but because we have one and a half hours, we'll be able to do the full order.
Dr. Gupta, we welcome you and the expertise that you bring to the table. You have five minutes to address our committee. The floor is yours.
