Mr. Chair, I only have a few words to say about the important role the Competition Bureau plays in Canada's agricultural sector.
The Competition Bureau is an independent agency that contributes to Canada's prosperity by protecting and encouraging market competition and helping consumers make informed choices. The objective of the Bureau is to be an excellence-based organization that produces results having an important impact and that is flexible enough to deal with today's and tomorrow's challenges.
The agricultural sector is a key priority for us. We know how hard our farmers and farm families work. We know it's the most dangerous job in Canada. And we know how important it is to all Canadians.
The Competition Bureau has made this a priority sector. We'd be happy today to answer any questions you may have about that important sector.
