The Chair Liberal Pat Finnigan

Welcome, everyone, to our Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.

Today we have with us the Advancing Women Conference for agriculture and Ms. Iris Meck. Also, with the National Farmers Union, we have Stewart Wells, past president. I will give them each a 10-minute opening statement.

I want to also welcome Matt DeCourcey. We'll make a farmer out of him yet. Also, we have Peter Fragiskatos. Welcome.

I think the rest of our committee is the same. Bienvenue tout le monde.

Ms. Meck, would you start with an up to 10-minute opening statement. Thank you.
