Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, and we look forward to your answers to some of the questions that I'm sure are going to come forward here.
Just as a note, I think it's been a long time since we've seen this room this full, so I guess it shows a lot of interest in agriculture and obviously people are here to hear your comments. So that's good.
I know that in our committee reports we had agreed to have seven- and five-minute rounds, and I would just suggest today, because the minister has committed to the first hour and his staff to the second hour, that we go with five and five. I would ask for the indulgence of the committee to carry through with that, if that's okay.
