We're pleased to have with us Dr. Peter Ford, physician, appearing as an individual; and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, represented by Ms. Kim Pate.
We welcome you to our committee. We're afraid we're going to be pressed for time. You will probably not have nearly as much time as we originally thought. We're going to have to compress the proceedings, as we have a bill to deal with.
Dr. Ford, please begin.
