Welcome back to the second hour.
Joining us today from the Canada Organic Trade Association is Mr. Matthew Holmes, executive director. Joining us by video conference from Guelph, Ontario, as an individual, is Mr. Rene Van Acker, professor in the department of plant agriculture at the University of Guelph.
Welcome, both of you.
We will start with Mr. Holmes and then move to Mr. Van Acker. We're looking for a presentation of roughly nine to ten minutes. Then we'll move to questions.
Mr. Holmes.
