[Inaudible--Editor]...we are going through the study of autism, something that's been of paramount importance to our committee.
I welcome Mike Lake here today as part of our committee.
We have a number of witnesses today.
We have Laurie Mawlam, who is executive director of Autism Canada Foundation and also with the leadership committee of the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance.
That's a long title, Laurie. Good morning, it's nice to see you.
From Autism Society Canada we have Kathleen Provost, executive director, also with the leadership committee of Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance.
Kathleen, welcome.
Suzanne Lanthier is executive director of Autism Speaks Canada, and from the Canadian Paediatric Society we have Dr. Wendy Roberts.
Welcome to you both.
We're going to start with ten-minute presentations from each, and I think I'll start with Laurie....
Yes, Mr. Lake.
