Welcome, everyone, as we pursue our APF study. I would like to welcome Mr. Lukiwski and Ms. Christine Moore as replacements this morning. As you all know, we might be cut a little short this morning with the vote in the House. I think I have consent that we can go maybe 10 minutes beyond the bell, if everyone is okay with that. It looks like we have unanimous consent for that.
I want to welcome our guests this morning. We have Kurt Siemens from the Canadian Egg Farmers and also Alison Evans. Welcome to you both.
We also have Fiona Cook from the Grain Growers of Canada. Welcome.
Of course, we have the well-known Ron Bonnett, who I think has crossed the country more times than most of us as politicians. He's well-known across the country, Welcome, Ron, to our meeting this morning.
We'll start by giving each of the witnesses 10 minutes.
Mr. Siemens, the floor is yours.
