Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food, meeting number 72. The orders of the day are, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of the agriculture and agri-food products supply chain in the beverage sector.
Joining us today from the Canadian Beverage Association is Jim Goetz. Welcome.
From the Winery and Grower Alliance of Ontario, we have Patrick Gedge, president and chief executive officer; and Murray Marshall, director.
I think you've all been informed of the process. I would suggest that if your other colleagues are coming in for future meetings we always like to be able to test and sample product.
I don't know if you've decided who is going to present first.
I'll ask Mr. Goetz to start, and we'll go from there.
