I call this meeting to order as we continue on our agricultural policy framework study.
The motion was concurred in for travel to Washington next week, just so all of you are aware of that.
Joining us right now, from the department, we have Suzanne Vinet, Dr. Marc Fortin, and Gilles Saindon, who are going to be here for the first hour.
If you want to make opening comments--Marc, I believe you will be--please keep them to ten minutes or less. We'd appreciate that, as it will give us some time for questions.
