Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of our panellists for being here for this important discussion. I appreciate your time.
I would like to start my questions with Dr. Weese. Being down the road here in Kitchener—Conestoga and having a child at the University of Guelph, it only seemed fitting.
We're here today primarily to talk about animal health and safety and farmers' health and safety. Biosecurity issues are prevalent, and you're obviously an expert on those. Can you explain to us the major causes of biosecurity issues and maybe list them in order of prevalence from your experience? What types of biosecurity issues are being faced?
