The Chair Conservative Bev Shipley

I'd like to call the meeting to order.

As you know, we're doing a study on the Canada-European Union trade agreement. This is meeting number 4, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of the Canada-European Union comprehensive economic trade agreement, CETA, and the effects of it on the Canadian agriculture sector.

We have Dairy Farmers of Canada and Glengarry Cheesemaking Inc. with us for the first hour. In the second hour we have Grain Growers of Canada and then a video conference from Vancouver, British Columbia, with an individual.

I want to welcome the witnesses we have with us. From Dairy Farmers of Canada we have Wally Smith, president, and Richard Doyle, executive director. From Glengarry Cheesemaking Inc., we have Margaret Peters Morris, president.

Welcome to each of you. You have 10 minutes to make opening statements.

Please go ahead.
