I call Committee of the Whole back to order. Mr. Braden.

Is the committee agreed?

We do what we can to protect our children, but these are very honourable callings to take up the job to protect the public and the public safety, and I certainly do send out condolences to the families and especially the mothers of these young men today.

Mr. Speaker, today I would like to talk about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, specifically as it...

Mr. Braden.
