Welcome, everyone. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motions adopted by the committee on Tuesday, December 6, 2016, and Thursday, October 26, 2017, the committee resumes its study on climate change and water conservation issues.
I'd like to remind our guests today that the motion for the current study deals with 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. That's basically what we're trying to achieve here.
With that, today we have, from Fertilizer Canada, Mr. Clyde Graham, senior vice-president; and from the Grain Growers of Canada, Mr. Doyle Wiebe, director, and Mr. Tyler McCann, interim executive director.
Welcome to all. We shall have opening statements of up to seven minutes.
Do you want to start, Mr. Graham?
