I want to welcome everybody to our meeting as we kick off our study on business risk management and the way it applies to the overall APF.
We are looking at the livestock side of it today, and I'd like to invite to the table Clare Schlegel, with the Canadian Pork Council; Stephen Moffett, with the Canadian Pork Council Safety Net Committee; Jennifer Fleming, who is the executive director of the Canadian Sheep Federation; and from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, Travis Toews and Ryder Lee, who will be making their presentation.
I ask that everybody keep under their 10 minutes so that we can have as much time as possible for questions. Bells are going to ring at a quarter after five, so we do want to wrap up well in advance of that. We do have some housekeeping business that we have to take care of before that time, so I will be adjourning this discussion and suspending the meeting at about five after five so that we can deal with the business and our travels to eastern Canada.
With that, I'll turn the floor over to you, Clare, if you'd kick off the presentations.
