She is qualified to be in this position. She is a practising doctor. She is currently undertaking her master’s program. She is three-quarters of the way done in getting her master’s in public health. I see this position as somebody who speaks with confidence and expresses energy and enthusiasm to the public about how to take care of their health. When there are some important public concerns, health concerns, that they will speak with authority and give comfort to the people that we have an institution and body that is looking after the public health. I am satisfied that she has what it takes to do this job. Obviously, for any person walking into this kind of position...Dr. Andre Corriveau left huge shoes to fill for anybody stepping into that position. I am committed and the department is committed to support Dr. Orlaw to be successful in this position, but she has all of the qualifications and credentials to begin this appointment. Thank you.
