I call the meeting back to order.
Welcome to our study on midwifery services in Canada.
I'm very pleased to welcome our witnesses today. Each will have five minutes for their opening remarks.
From the Canadian Midwifery Regulators Council, we have Tracy Murphy, the executive director, and Louise Aerts, the chair.
From the National Aboriginal Council of Midwives, we have Claire Dion Fletcher, an indigenous registered midwife and the co-chair, and Brenda Epoo, also an aboriginal registered midwife and another co-chair.
From Regroupement Les sages-femmes du Québec, we have Josyane Giroux, president and midwife.
We will have all, eventually. We'll start with our guests from the Canadian Midwifery Regulators Council.
Louise, you can begin. You have five minutes.
