I call the meeting back to order. We're going to continue with our hearings on APF.
We want to welcome to the table Lorne Martin, who is the assistant deputy minister for Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives; Bill Swan, who is the board member for district 5, which is this area, for the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba; the president of Keystone Agricultural Products, David Rolfe; and from Manitoba Chicken Producers, Wayne Hiltz and Waldie Klassen. I want to welcome all of you to the table to help us with our study on the agriculture policy framework.
I ask that all of you keep your opening comments to 10 minutes or less. We would really appreciate that. It gives more time to ask questions of you.
With that, Mr. Martin, I'll turn the floor over to you for the first 10 minutes.
