Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, meeting number 78. Our orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, January 31, 2013. We continue our study of the agricultural and agrifood products supply chain, the beverage sector.
Joining us today from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is Susie Miller, director general, sector development and analysis directorate, market and industry services branch. Boy, you have a big business card. From the Canada Revenue Agency, we have Brian McCauley, assistant commissioner, legislative policy and regulatory affairs branch.
I understand, Ms. Miller, that you are going to make an opening statement, and then we'll move to questions.
