The Chair Conservative James Bezan

I call this meeting to order.

We will continue with our study on Growing Forward, and hopefully get this wrapped up by the end of the week.

I welcome to the table today Jeff Reid, vice-president of the Canadian Seed Trade Association; from BIOTECanada, we have Phil Schwab; from Performance Plants, we have David Dennis, president and CEO; and from Pulse Canada, we have Gordon Bacon and Todd Stewart.

I welcome all of you.

If you could keep your opening comments to 10 minutes or less, it would be greatly appreciated.

With that, we'll kick it off with you, Mr. Reid.
