I call this meeting to order.
Ladies and gentlemen, with us today to continue our debate on the future of the Canadian Wheat Board, we have the Honourable Doug Horner from Alberta, the Honourable Rosann Wowchuk from Manitoba, and the Honourable Mark Wartman from Saskatchewan.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. It's a pleasure to have you with us today.
As you can see, we're also treated to a TV camera in the room, which doesn't happen that often other than in the designated areas but it is allowed under the Standing Orders.
I will be banging the gavel for decorum if we do tend to fade away. I know what it does in question period when we have cameras running, so take that as a warning, gentlemen and ladies, that I will be very strict in maintaining decorum during this discussion today.
Having said that, we will start off. I'll have Mr. Wartman go first.
