Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I appreciate all the witnesses being here today.
We've heard a lot of debate about GMO crops or non-GMO crops. We also have two individuals here from A&L Canada Laboratories who haven't had much of a chance to participate today. I'd like to give them more of a chance during my time.
There is obviously a lot more to biotechnology than GMO crops. I know you certainly have done some research in other areas, and I'm interested in hearing more about it.
A lot of your research is ongoing, but I'm specifically interested to hear about some of the applications of your research. You could take this opportunity to tell us a little about some of the benefits, with some examples of the application of your research and what it's been able to do for farmers to improve their situation.
