I would ask members to take their chairs, please. I will call the meeting to order.
This is, as someone pointed out, certainly the last meeting of 2010 and probably the very last committee meeting in this building, let alone this room, for probably five or six years.
I guess we are probably the only committee that is having a meeting this morning, so I think we should give ourselves credit for being here and doing government business.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here. You have been on notice that this meeting may or may not happen, so we appreciate you playing ball with us and it is good to have you.
First of all, we're going to move to CropLife Canada. We have Lorne Hepworth and Janice Tranberg.
