Now we're on to other business. I want to thank the witnesses for their patience as we went through this business.
I welcome to the table, from the Food and Consumer Products of Canada, Blake Johnston, vice-president of government affairs; from the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, Larry McIntosh, chair of the board of directors, and Dan Dempster, president. From the University of Saskatchewan, we have Professor Jill Hobbs, head of the Department of Bioresource Policy, Business and Economics. And from the Canadian Horticultural Council, we have Anne Fowlie, executive vice-president.
I welcome you all here. In the interest of time, we would appreciate it if you could keep your comments as brief as possible. We are very much interested in what you have to say about our study on “Product of Canada” labelling.
With that, I'll turn it over to you, Mr. Johnston. You have the floor.
