I'd like to call the committee back to order after our break for votes.
Obviously we've had a significant change in some of our timetable. I want to thank all our witnesses. I know some have adjusted their schedules and their times so they could continue to participate on the panels, and I very much appreciate that.
And I know some have stayed. Mr. Richard Phillips is staying and some others have stepped out and are going to come back at 8:30. I think it indicates the significance of this bill and the desire for input. So you have a bit of an idea, it is now ten after five. I would like to run through this session. We brought our video group all together now so we will have four at this table. I would like to take it until twenty after six, that will give us time to switch over so we can get started with the next group close to 6:30.
So with that I'm going to go to our video first of all. I did introduce Dr. Richard Gray earlier and thank you, Dr. Gray, for sticking around. Also by video conference from Calgary, the Alberta Wheat Commission, we have Kevin Bender, the director; and from the Inland Terminal Association of Canada, Kevin Hursh, executive director.
So with that, I'm going to ask Dr. Gray if you would start off, please, sir. You have eight minutes.
