We're going to call meeting number 35 of the Standing Committee on Agriculture to order.
Today we're going to be hearing from the equipment dealers and manufacturers of Canada. We have Peter Maurice here, Doug Tibben, John Schmeiser, Duane Smith, Bob Frazee, and Howard Mains. Welcome to the committee.
I'm going to turn it over to you John, so if you want to kick it off and keep your comments as brief as possible that will give us more time for questions and answers and debate following your presentations.
