I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 111 of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food.
I will start with a few reminders. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. Just so you are aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking, rather than the entirety of the committee.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motions adopted by the committee on Thursday, February 8, 2024, and Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the committee is resuming its study on the impact of border carbon adjustments and reciprocity of standards on Canadian agriculture.
I would now like to welcome the group of witnesses we have with us for the first hour of the meeting.
From the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, we have Michael Harvey, executive director.
From the Canadian Pork Council—and he is no stranger to this committee or its members—we have René Roy, chair, and Katerina Kolemishevska.
From Farmers for Climate Solutions, we have Geneviève Grossenbacher, director of policy.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you for being here today. It's very good to have you.
You know the drill. We'll do five minutes for opening remarks from each organization. Then we'll turn it over to questions from MPs.
I'm gong to start with you, Mr. Harvey, for up to five minutes. The floor is yours.
