The Joint Chair (Mr. Robert Oliphant (Don Valley West, Lib.)) Liberal Rob Oliphant

I'm calling our 12th meeting of the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying to order. It's good to see our committee members here. I believe we have quorum.

I'd like to thank the witnesses who are our guests today for joining us and for offering their wisdom and expertise.

We have four people but three witnesses coming forward today. I'm going to suggest we do the video conference witnesses first, followed by Dr. Somerville after that. I'm going to suggest that we begin in Alberta and welcome Carmela Hutchison, the president of the DisAbled Women's Network of Canada.

Welcome, Ms. Hutchison. You have 10 minutes, and after that we will go to Vancouver, and then after that to Dr. Somerville.

Thank you.
