The Chair Conservative James Bezan

I call this meeting to order.

For our afternoon session we have a large group of witnesses. From the OFA, we have Geri Kamenz and Jason Bent. As an individual, Larry Davis is presenting. We have, from the Ontario Corn Producers' Association, Dale Mountjoy; the Ontario-Quebec Grain Farmers' Coalition, Peter Tuinema. From the Canadian Sheep Federation, we have Vince Stutzki and Jennifer Fleming.

Welcome back, Jennifer.

From the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, we have Arthur Smith.

I do ask everybody to keep their comments within their allocated times: 10 minutes for organizations, five minutes for individuals.

So with that, I'll ask Mr. Kamenz to kick us off.
