I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The past five years have been very protracted to say the least for those seeking access to medicinal cannabis for themselves or their children. It has been extremely frustrating and many people will be scratching their heads and asking why it has taken so long for this process to begin. The good news is that the process is beginning in a couple of weeks. My first question concerns MCAP itself. It is good that people will get prescriptions in the next couple of weeks but how many clinicians have registered for MCAP thus far and have they registered patients under their care?
