John Barlow at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

Thank you, Mr. Mount.

I appreciate your understanding of our situation here. As colleagues ask you questions, do not respond; just jot those down. We'll get the questions to you and you can respond in writing.

Now we will go to our rounds of questioning.

For Mr. Nelson, who's new with us, each party will have an opportunity to ask a question in each round. The first round will be six minutes for each member of Parliament for each party.

We'll start with Mr. Epp for six minutes, please.
