I call the meeting back to order.
I will start about halfway through if that's okay. You know the guidelines pretty well, so I'll continue.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all participants at this meeting that screenshots, or taking photos of your screen, are not permitted.
To ensure an orderly meeting, I would like to outline a few rules. Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute your mike. For those in the room, your microphone will be controlled as normal by the proceedings and verification officer.
Just a reminder that all comments by members and witnesses must be addressed through the chair. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
Before we go to our witnesses, I want to remind members that the deadline for sending amendments with regard to Bill C-205 is Friday, June 11, at noon. Amendments must be sent to the clerk. If you want advice on the admissibility of an amendment, you may contact legislative clerk Jacques Maziade. If you need assistance with drafting amendments, you may contact legislative counsel Alexandra Schorah. I don't know if there will be any questions, but I wanted to remind all of you.
That being said, I will now welcome today's witnesses.
From ALUS, I believe it's Alternative Land Use Services, we have Bryan Gilvesy, chief executive officer; and from Farmers Edge Inc., we have Wade Barnes, chief executive officer, and Bruce Ringrose, head of sustainability and stakeholder relations.
Welcome to all of you. We'll go with a seven and a half minute opening statement.
Go ahead, Mr. Gilvesy.
