Pat Finnigan at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

Thank you.

We shall now continue with our witness.

I want to welcome Mr. Mark Butler.

Mr. Butler is the policy director of the Ecology Action Centre.

Good morning, Mr. Butler.

From Memorial University in Newfoundland, we have Mr. Garth Fletcher.

Thank you so much for appearing in front of our committee on this important topic.

I'll give you up to 10 minutes to do your opening remarks, but you don't have to use the whole 10 minutes.

Mr. Butler, do you want to start?
