Good morning everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, meeting number 57. Orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of agriculture and agrifood products supply chain (grains and oilseeds).
Joining us today are: from the Canadian International Grains Institute, Rex Newkirk, director of research and business development; and from the Canola Council of Canada, Jim Everson, vice-president of corporate affairs. Welcome. I'm sure you know the drill. You have time to make a small presentation and then we'll move to questions from the committee members. Who wants to start?
Go ahead, Jim.
