I'm going to call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this committee is studying maternal and child health.
On April 12, 2010, the Standing Committee on the Status of Women unanimously adopted the following motion to study maternal and child health. The motion reads:
That the Committee study maternal and child health following the government's announcement to make maternal and child health a priority at the G8 in June that Canada would be hosting, as long as this is done before the end of May.
We are doing four hearings, and you are our third set of hearings.
Today we have four sets of witnesses. I will begin with the video conference witness, Pamela Fuselli from Safe Kids Canada, and then I will move on to the others in order.
Let me tell you that each group has 10 minutes to present. I will give you a warning when you have two minutes left. You don't have to take 10 minutes, by the way. Then we will have a question and answer set of rounds.
I'm going to begin with Pamela Fuselli, executive director for Safe Kids Canada.
Ms. Fuselli, your 10 minutes begins.
