I'd like to call the committee to order, please. We're here pursuant to order of reference of Friday, March 28, 2014, Bill C-30, an act to amend the Canada Grain Act and the Canada Transportation Act and to provide for other measures.
Tonight we have three different panels, from 6:30 to 7:30, 7:30 to 8:30, and 8:30 to 9:30. We're going to try to keep our times fairly tight so that we can get as much information out as we possibly can during our time scheduled.
Tonight on the first panel, we have Greg Cherewyk from Pulse Canada. Thank you very much for joining us.
By video conference we have from the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Brett Halstead and Rick White.
Also by video conference, from Calgary, Alberta, we welcome Matt Sawyer, the chair of the Alberta Barley Commission.
We will enter into opening remarks. You have a maximum of 10 minutes each, and then we'll move into rounds of questions by our committees.
Greg, I'll give you the opportunity to start with your opening statements.
