James Bezan at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

I call our meeting into session. We're going to continue with our Alberta hearings on the agriculture policy framework.

I want to welcome to the table Stephen Vandervalk, from the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association. From the Alberta Grain and Oil Seeds Crisis Advocacy Trust, we have Lorne Darlington and Leroy Fjordbotten. From the Alberta Soft Wheat Producers Commission, we have Lynn Jacobson and Everett Tanis. Appearing as an individual, we have Brenda Schoepp.

With that, I will open it up for your opening presentations. Please keep them to 10 minutes or less.

We'll start with you, Mr. Vandervalk.
