We will take our seats as soon as we can and get going.
Welcome to our panel for our second hour on the PMRA decision concerning neonic insecticides. With us here for the second hour, from the Canadian Honey Council, is Rod Scarlett, executive director. Welcome, Mr. Scarlett.
From the Grain Farmers of Ontario, we have Mr. Mark Brock, chairman. Welcome, Mr. Brock.
Pierre Giovenazzo teaches apiculture science at the Centre de recherche en sciences animales de Deschambault, at Université Laval.
Welcome, Mr. Giovenazzo.
You will each have 10 minutes.
That said, I must first put a motion to the committee.
We need to pass this motion regarding the title of our study for the U.S. visit. It's basically just the same title that we will use right through, so it could read like this:
That the committee undertake a study related to Canada-United States Cooperation in Agriculture.
Are we okay with that title?
We have a consensus, then. Thank you everyone.
We will now proceed with the presentations.
Would you care to start, Mr. Giovenazzo.
