I call this meeting to order.
We're continuing with our study on SRMs, on the ban that's coming into effect on July 12.
We welcome to the table today Susie Miller from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Graham Clarke from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and we have from the Government of Alberta, John Donner and Gerald Hauer. We also have from the CFIA, Freeman Libby and Brian Evans. From the Government of Saskatchewan, we have Harvey Brooks and Paul Johnson, and from the Government of Manitoba, we have Allan Preston and we are still waiting for Mr. Horner and Mr. Schellenberger who we hope will come in later to participate.
Because we have such a large number of witnesses today, we're asking everybody to keep their comments as short as possible. Your maximum time is ten minutes, and I will intervene if you're going over that time.
With that, we'll start off with the Government of Canada comments, and we'll turn it over to you, Dr. Evans.
