Mr. Michael Boylan:

I thank the Chairman and members for inviting me, as chairperson of the Medical Injuries Alliance, to address the joint committee. In view of the time constraints, I will be brief. Our submission and all of the letters in which members of the alliance recount their stories have been circulated. I urge members of the committee to read them.

We established the Medical Injuries Alliance four years ago to advocate for the rights of patients injured in medical accidents.
