I am going to call us to order and, hopefully, Dr. McKenzie will join us before we get to him.
I want to welcome the two witnesses who are with us at the moment.
From the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention, we have Sean Krausert. We also have, as an individual, Dr. Valorie Masuda, and very shortly we hope to have Dr. Kwame McKenzie, also as an individual.
Thank you for joining us today. The way we run these things is that you will each have a chance to make a five-minute opening statement. We ask you to respect that five minutes. Please, during the actual panel, put yourself on mute when you're not speaking. If you want to draw our attention to something during the testimony, you can use the “raise hand” feature. Please address your comments through the joint chairs. I am accompanied today by Senator Yonah Martin, who will co-preside over some of this session.
Without further ado, we will start.
Mr. Krausert, if you are ready, please go ahead. You have five minutes.
