Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, meeting 70.
Our orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of the agricultural and agrifood products supply chain, grains and oilseeds.
Joining us today from the Canadian Seed Trade Association is Patty Townsend, chief executive officer, and via video conference from Sherbrooke, Les amiEs de la Terre de l'Estrie, André Nault, president, and Laurier Busque, administrator. Bienvenue.
As always, we'll open with some presentations, and then we'll move to the committee for questions. I'll ask Ms. Townsend to please start, and then we'll move to our guests through video conference.
