Welcome back, everyone.
We will now resume our meeting on the study of the situation at the Russia-Ukraine border and implications for peace and security.
I would like to welcome our witnesses.
First we have, from the United Nations World Food Programme, Matthew Hollingworth, who regrettably had some challenges last time. We're grateful that he could make it back. Mr. Hollingworth is the World Food Programme representative and country director for Ukraine.
From the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, we have Michael Harvey, executive director.
Last, we're grateful to have two witnesses from the Canadian Canola Growers Association. We have Dave Carey, vice-president, government and industry relations, as well as Ms. Gayle McLaughlin, who is manager, government and industry relations.
You will each be provided five minutes for your opening remarks. I understand that Ms. McLaughlin and Mr. Carey are going to share the five minutes.
That's for opening remarks, and then we have questions from the members. If it's getting close to the time that the members have available to them, I will hold this phone up in the air. That means you should please try to wrap it up as soon as possible.
We will start with Mr. Hollingworth.
You have five minutes. The floor is yours.
