Thank you.
Before we move on to our next witness, I'd like to make the committee aware that we have a number of guests in the audience who just arrived from the Republic of Bangladesh. I'd like to welcome all of you here. With this delegation, there are four members of Parliament, including the chairs of the committees on social welfare, agriculture, labour and employment, and fisheries and livestock.
Our committee today, ladies and gentlemen, is continuing our study into Growing Forward 2, which is a slate of programs that delivers continuity and stability to agriculture in Canada. They're about to be renewed, and when we're done with this report, it will get reported back to the ministry and the House of Commons. The component of this study that we're doing right now is on competitiveness in the industry.
I hope that you enjoy your time here in Canada and at the committee here today. Welcome.
With that, we'll now move on to Dairy Farmers of Canada and Mr. Maynard.
