I was here. I did not mention names, but apparently we're going to name and shame. I'm not going to do that.
Colleagues, we just have the two witnesses today, so we should get three rounds in. If you run out of questions, we'll deal with that when the time comes.
In the second hour, we have some committee business to address that may or may not take the full hour. That depends on us.
Colleagues, I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 114 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. These proceedings are available on the House of Commons website.
Just so that our witnesses are aware, the webcast will show the person speaking and not the whole committee. Again, screenshots are not permitted. Please refrain from doing that.
Colleagues, you know all the rules regarding the headsets for interpretation. Keep those away from the microphones.
To our witnesses, thank you for being here with us today. You may speak in the official language of your choice. We have interpretation services available. If we have a sound issue, I will put my hand up and ask you to pause, and we'll try to get it resolved. I'm hoping we can move on fairly easily for the rest of the day, now that our sound issues have been resolved.
I'd like to introduce the witnesses we have with us today for our study on the impact of border carbon adjustments and reciprocities.
From the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, we have Monika Tothova, senior economist, markets and trade division, social and economic development work stream. From the University of Saskatchewan, we have Angela Bedard-Haughn, dean and professor, College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
You will each have five minutes for an opening statement. When you have about 30 seconds left, I'll put my hand up so you will know that your time is running out. If you're a bit over, there's no panic. We have plenty of time for you today.
Perhaps I will start with Ms. Tothova.
If you want to go ahead with your five minutes, the time is yours.
