Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs, we're ready to start.
Today the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs for the Parliament of Canada is very pleased, through video conferencing, to meet and discuss with Melissa McDiarmid, medical director of the depleted uranium program for the Toxic Embedded Fragment Surveillance Center. That's quite a business card.
Ms. McDiarmid, it's an honour to talk with you today, and we look forward to your presentation. We want to thank you in advance on behalf of our chairperson, Greg Kerr, who can't be with us. From all members of our committee, we thank you very much for your time and your information. We know you're extremely busy down there in the great city of Baltimore, Maryland, so we thank you very much.
Please go right ahead.
