I call the meeting to order.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here this morning.
I understand that Mr. Cross has to leave early, so we're going to adjust the agenda a little bit and have Mr. Cross present first. Then he can leave as he wishes.
Thanks for having us here in Saskatchewan on the first leg of our cross-country tour on our study of the biotechnology industry.
With no further ado, we are going to move to Mr. Cross.
Please try to stay under 10 minutes, sir. Thank you.
