Okay, we'll go with that. We'll continue until there's only 10 minutes left on the bells.
I'd now like to welcome our witness, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
She's going to talk to us about the supplementary estimates (C).
We're truly grateful to have you with us today, Ms. Bibeau.
Also with us, of course, we have the officials. From the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, we have Ms. Colleen Barnes. Welcome, Ms. Barnes. Also, from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, we have Mr. Chris Forbes, deputy minister—welcome, Mr. Forbes, to our committee—and Ms. Christine Walker, assistant deputy minister, corporate management branch.
With that, Minister, we'll give you seven and a half minutes or so to do your opening statement.
Go ahead, Madam Minister.
