Welcome back to the second hour of our climate change study.
With us from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association we have Andrea Brocklebank, executive director of the Beef Cattle Research Council. Also, by video, we have with us Fawn Jackson, manager, environment and sustainability.
Thanks to you both for being here.
To give us a bit of direction, I'm going to read the motion about what we're trying to do. I've read it with the committee before, but I'll just make sure we're focused on what we're trying to achieve.
Part of the motion is on “how the government can help the Canadian agriculture sector better adjust to the increasing severity of issues associated with climate change and better address water and soil conservation issues”. I know that's quite broad, but it will just make sure that we're focused.
We will start with a statement from you, Ms. Brocklebank. We might have more time than we usually have, but usually it's a seven-minute presentation. The floor is yours.
