Thank you, Niki.

I would like to thank the witnesses who are here today for helping us understand more about eating disorders.

I would like to start by saying that, as a health professional, I know a little about eating disorders. However, I would like to call on your experience, Ms. Martin, by asking the following question.

I know that, most of the time, eating disorders result from an imbalance or a relationship between the body and food, but that is not the only factor. As we know, it's fairly complex.

In your field, what do you see as the biggest factor at the root of eating disorders?
