Welcome, everyone.

This morning, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the mental health challenges that Canadian farmers, ranchers and producers face

With us this morning, by video conference, we have from the University of Regina, Dr. Nicholas Carleton, professor, department of psychology; and Dr. Amber Fletcher, associate professor, department of sociology. From the Canadian Farmers with Disabilities Registry, we have Bob Guest, chairman, and Jonas Johnson.

Thank you all for being here.

We'll start with an opening statement, up to seven minutes. We're kind of pressed for time, so I'll certainly let you know.

Mr. Guest.
