Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Committee members, welcome back. As you know we're doing a study on domestic trade in agriculture and agrifood products, and we are looking at interprovincial barriers to that. We've had a number of guests as witnesses. Today we have with us, in the first hour, from Canadian Vintners Association, Dan Paszkowski, who is president and CEO, and Beth McMahon, who is vice-president of government and public affairs. From the Canadian Seed Trade Association, we have Patty Townsend, CEO.
Welcome to all of you. I'm going to ask Mr. Paszkowski if he will start the presentation by the Canadian Vintners Association, and then we'll move on to Patty Townsend.
Mr. Paszkowski, go ahead, please, for 10 minutes.
