Welcome, everyone, to our committee meeting this morning, as we continue our study on advancements in technology and research in the agriculture industry that can support Canadian exports.
Before we start, I certainly want to welcome Mr. Shipley, and also Mr. Terry Duguid, who is replacing Eva. We're certainly wishing her mom all the best. I know she had some health issues.
This morning we have with us Mr. Andrew Casey, president and chief executive officer of BIOTECanada. Welcome, Mr. Casey.
We will also be hearing, via video conference, Mr. Simon Dugré, who is the director of the Centre d'innovation sociale en agriculture.
Good morning and welcome, Mr. Dugré.
Can you hear me?
